      Verdict

      Calculaite, Saif Sareea and Tony Tie are three against the field in a wide open handicap and the vote is given to Calculaite. The selection won well last time out when beating Ramsquill and although he has a penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit and from a good draw he will be hard to beat. Saif Sareea rates the main danger on her best form as she remains well handicapped but all her best form is over a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. Tony Tie is another worthy of respect as he has dropped to a handy mark and is sure to have the race run to suit, but this hold up performer will need everything to drop right for him and at likely odds he looks worth opposing. Bond Diamond was a fair fourth behind Jubilee Street last time out and that form has since been franked so he could go well at a price. Of the remainder, Hula Ballew is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with. Princes Theatre hails from a yard that like a tilt in the ring and he should be noted in the market but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Calculaite who still looks ahead of the handicapper.
