    Verdict

    Another wide open affair rounds off the card but the main protagonists look to be Optimal, Havetoavit, and Dance To My Tune and the vote goes to Optimal. The selection is one of the least exposed in the field is open to plenty of improvement and with conditions again in his favour he is taken to score. Havetoavit rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Munaawesh but he has a penalty for that win and this looks tougher so he looks opposable. Dance To My Tune has been in good form of late and has definite place claims but his best form is with more cut in the ground. Belisco is another last time out winner that could go well but he to looks to have plenty of weight. Of the remainder Wing Collar has dropped to a handy mark and is one to note in the market but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Optimal.
