        Verdict

        Soba Jones can get back to winning ways at the expense of Count Cougar, Zorn and Desert Opal to name but a few. This handicap does have an open look to it, but Soba Jones can prove the answer on the back of a couple of decent efforts over the course-and distance already this year. Sent off favourite to complete a hat-trick when lining up in a claimer here five days ago, he was beaten very narrowly, and can make amends now back in handicap company, although he is going back up the weights. He is no good thing, but is given the vote over a whole host of possibles, including Count Cougar who made a bold bid to try and make all against the in-form Crimson King at the weekend. This drop back in trip will suit and he can give the selection most to do. Zorn also has winning form here and must not be ruled out, while Desert Opal is no slouch but seems to prefer the faster Polytrack. Soba Jones is the selection.
