Dasheena, With Confidence and Forced Upon Us are three against the field in a wide open handicap and the narrow vote is given to Dasheena. The selection was a fair third behind Ever Cheerful last time out, that form looks solid and off the same mark here he looks a value bet. With Confidence rates the main danger on his latest third behind Memphis Man especially as the step up in trip looks sure to suit and he should be watched in the market. Forced Upon Us is game and consistent and is sure to race but he now looks in the handicappers grip. Zazous goes well over course and distance and is sure to run his race but he is another that looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder Thea di Bisanzio is from a shrewd yard and is unexposed so is worth a cautionary look in the market but Dasheena has plenty of ticks in the right boxes and he gets our vote.
