Ladalko, Native Coral and Full House are three against the field in this handicap chase and the vote is given to Ladalko. The selection won well last time out, returns to the fray on a handy mark and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Native Coral rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Jallastep but that form has since been let down and his overall profile leaves him with a little to find. Full House is another last time out winner that could go well but he may just need the run after a 155 day absence. Of the remainder East Tycoon has the ability to go close but was let down by his jumping last time out and for the winner we return to Ladalko.
