Verdict

Pardini is hardly a prolific winner but he does look the best option in a poor race, Tommy carson and Ironside look the pick of the others. The selection has shown a liking for this track in the past and has won off a mark of 82. His form this campaign hasn't been too bad and against mainly disappointing rivals he can get his head in front. Tommy Carson is a course and distance winner but has been out of sorts of late. If he bounces back to his best he would be a big danger. Ironside is not the most consistent of performers but does at least boast winning form this campaign. Of the others Tallow Bay would have a squeak on the pick of last season's form, but in a race where caution is advised when betting we just side with Pardini.
