Verdict

Another, tough race to call here, for punters with not much between many of the runners. However the principals look to be Prominent Profile, Top Of The Left and Wave Rock and we will side with Prominent Profile. The 11 year old was a good second behind Spring Grove last time and although he has again risen in the weights he is taken to score in what looks a slightly easier race. Top Of The Left rates the main danger he has been in fair form over hurdles of late and it is interesting that his shrewd yard have pitched him straight into handicap company so he is worth noting in the market. Wave Rock is another worthy of respect he has dropped to a handy mark and was a fair third behind Waterlaw last time. However the drop back in trip is not sure to suit so for that reason he is opposed. Flinder¿s Chase is another that should go well he is from a yard that is beginning to hit top form and he was a good second behind The Bandit last time. However in a race that is full of imponderables we are happy to side with Prominent Profile
