A wide open Handicap rounds off the card with many in-form rivals in opposition, including Nearly A Fool, Wood Fern and Smith 'n' Allan Oils, and we will side with Nearly A Fool to complete the hat-trick. The 3-year-old has won his last two races on the track and defeated Tayif with a shade in hand last time, and he may be still ahead of the handicapper. Smith 'n' Allan Oils also won last time but he only had a head to spare over Kilmeena Lad and he may struggle under his penalty. Wood Fern won a maiden when defeating Givemethemoonlight last time, but although he is well-bred, he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achieved. Zafarshah is another last time out winner that could go well but he is not the most consistent, so we will make Nearly A Fool our nomination.
