Habitual, Sunday City and Princess Kiiotto are three against the field in another wide open handicap and the confident vote goes to Habitual. The selection won with plenty in hand when defeating Indian Chase last time and although he is rising in the weights he is unexposed at this trip and is taken to win again. Sunday City rates the main danger on his latest second behind Polar Tryst and he looks sure to be suited by the step up in trip. Princess Kiiotto is another that could go well but she just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with her when fifth behind Inchpast last time and for that reason she is passed over on this occasion. Spring Breeze also won well last time out when defeating Bushido but this looks more competitive and he may struggle under his penalty. Of the remainder Quickstyx has looked as if this trip would suit and is worth a look in the market but for the winner we return to the progressive Habitual.
