        Verdict

        Dingaan, Sands Crooner and Littledodayno are three against the field in this competitive handicap and the tentative nomination is given to Dingaan. The selection won well over course and distance last time out and although he has a penalty for that win he looks to be progressing and from a good draw he is taken to win again. Sands Crooner rates the main danger as he also won well last time when beating Canina but this looks more competitive and he will need to improve again to win off this mark. Littledodayno is another that could go well but he may just need the run after a 179 day absence is another last time out winner that could go well but he has yet to win off a mark this high. Of the others Thoughtsofstardom is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but for the winner we return to Dingaan who looks progressive.
