Verdict

Hello Bud, Finzi and Dere Lyn are three against the field in another competitive contest and the vote is given to Hello Bud, The selection won well last time out when beating Orki Des Aigles and although rising in the weights he looks progressive and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Finzi won well last time out when beating Florida Dream but all his best form is on a softer surface. Dere Lyn won well last time out when beating Jolejoker but he has a penalty for that win and this looks more competitive so he looks vulnerable under his penalty. Getinbybutonlyjust is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but is hard to win with. Of the remainder Hidden Bounty looks sure to improve for the better ground and could go well at a price but for the winner we are happy to return to the progressive Hello Bud.
