Lady Pekan, Dutch Key Gold and Sir Sandrovitch look the three to concentrate on in a competitive handicap and the vote goes to Dutch Key Gold. The selection is from the in-form Gerald Butler yard and was a fair third behind Madrasee. He is sure to have come on for the run and off what looks a fair mark he will be hard to beat. Sir Sandrovitch rates the main danger he has won his last two races in good style beating Lady Pekan last time out. However that rival is weighted to gain his revenge on him here and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Mynd remains on a fair mark and is from a gambling yard so is worth a cautionary look in the market but for the winner we return to Dutch Key Gold.
