A small but competitive field goes to post for this handicap and the principals look to be Sendintank, Late Opposition and Toni Alcala and the confident vote goes to Sendintank. The selection has won his last two races in good style and although he won in workman like fashion when defeating Promoter last time he still looked ahead of the handicapper and he is taken to win again. Late Opposition rates the main danger hen won a maiden in good style last time out when defeating Mambina but this looks harder and he is not proven over a trip this far so he is passed over on this occasion. Toni Alcala is another that could go well but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him when fifth behind Dr Sharp last time so he is over looked on this occasion. Of the remainder Ebinzayd is from a shrewd yard is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Sendintank.
