Verdict

Waynesworld,Lucky Luk and Mandica are three against the field in this competitive handicap chase and the vote is given to Waynesworld. The selection looks well weighted on his best early season form, he goes well fresh and under conditions that suit he looks a value bet in an open affair. Lucky Luk rates the main danger on his latest second behind Lambrini Bianco but the drop in trip has to be of concern and he is passed over for that reason. Mandica is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks vulnerable off this mark. Of the remainder Twenty Degrees hails from a yard in top form and could go well at a price but he is hard to win with and in a race where the market will be very informative for the winner we return to Waynesworld.
