Verdict

Tiger Grass has been at the top of his game this season off this sort of mark and he is taken to get back on the winning trail after his good second behind Do It On Dani last time out. The gelding from the Martin Pipe yard goes on any ground and and will be hard to beat. Empire Park won a class f handicap hurdle last time out in good stlyle when defeating Happy Hussar but he will find this class c a lot more difficult. Gimmick could also go well he was a fair seventh after a long absence last time out he is sure to have come on for the run and his stable is beginning to hit top form. Maninga improved out of all recognition last year but will have to have improved again to win off this mark, however if the ground is very soft he will be a danger to all. Back To Bill could also go well if he is wound up for his first run of the season.
