A wide open contest rounds off the card and many can be given chances on there best form but the principals lookto be Marko Jadeo,Screwdriver and Age of Kings and the vote is given to Marko Jadeo. The selection disappointed last time out but with the return to seven furlongs in his favour he looks the value bet in an open affair. Screwdriver rates the main danger on his latest third behind Wahoo Sam but he is far from consistent and can not be put forward with any confidence. Age Of Kings is another that could go well on his best form but he may just need a run after a 205 day absence. Willheconquertoo is another that could go well but he has had plenty of chances off this sort of mark and again he looks vulnerable. Of the remainder Libre has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Marco Jadeo.
