Trickier than Paul Daniels' pockets, this handicap can go to Kravisi's Boy with Super Sensation, Milk And Sultana and Kiama just three others in with chances. The selection wasn't beaten far when a runner-up over course and distance nine days ago. His stable are in decent form, and whilst he is obviously no world-beater, he could be good enough to take this. Salinger would be interesting coming back from a break if this was over a couple less furlongs, whilst Pharoah Prince would have claims if putting his woeful last run behind him. Milk And Sultana is fairly consistent so has place claims once again, however Kiama may be the one at a price for each-way backers. Brendan Powell's charge continues to inch down the handicap and must be good enough one day to take advantage. Ultimately this is a weak contest, and we will side with Kravisi's Boy to land the spoils.
