We finish with another competitive handicap where this time the vote comes down on the side of SUDDEN IMPULSE in preference to Safebreaker and Society Venue. The pick takes a slight step down in grade to face these rivals after some good looking efforts in her last three starts. The latest was a solid run under an inexperienced pilot and with a more capable jock on her back this time she should reverse the formline with Safebreaker off a winning rating. Safebreaker only missed out by a short head in that last race and this one has been on good form recently. The ground conditions offer no barrier however while he should be involved his mark might need easing before he scores again. The same could be said for Society Venue who has been running well under similar burdens but is still waiting for the assessor to get his mark right while Bourse put in a decent showing in a strong handicap last time and despite being three pounds above his last winning rating should go well dropping to this class. Not the easiest race to end with this but we side with Sudden Impulse.
