Verdict

This trip will take some getting and with most with stamina to prove we give ONIZ TIPTOES the nod ahead of Paddy's Tern while Of Course will be interesting if lasting home. Having found just the one too good off this mark over course and distance last time out the selection looks to have every chance of going one better. The slightly better conditions will help and he does seem to relish a stamina test. Paddy's Tern has also run well when taking on this assignment two starts back and given he's seven pounds lighter in the handicap this time he looks to represent some value. Of Course has it to prove over this test but is at least on form having scored with something to spare on his last start while Go On Be A Lady has won at the track but has yet to really show this stamina stretch is what she needs. Gouranga stays this far and can be considered on that basis so in a race where stamina will be key we opt for Oniz Tiptoes.
