    Verdict

    Little Brown Bear is the model of consistency and has finished placed in most of his races. However the handicapper has not really given him a break and looks very hard to win with off his current mark. For that reason the TEAMtalk vote goes to the well handicapped Laazim Afooz who is another consistent type but the handicapper has been less severe on him. The ground should suit and this trip looks ideal for him these days. The only course and distance winner in the field is Young Tomo who won here last season. However he has failed to recapture that form and is passed over here. With the rest out of the handicap this looks a three horse race.
