Left Hand Drive, Autograph and Heavenly Pleasure are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Left Hand Drive. The selection won well last time out when beating Sono with plenty in hand and although having a penalty for that win he looks sure to improve again for this longer trip and he looks the one to be on. Autograph rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Jaunty Flight but he looks vulnerable under his penalty in this more competitive affair. Heavenly Pleasure beat Divine Wisdom in good style last time out but consistency is not his strong point and at the likely odds he looks worth taking on. Garryvoe is another with place claims on his best form but he was let down by his jumping when pulled up last time out. Of the remainder, Captain Zinzan is well weighted on his best form but he may need the run after a 340-day absence and for the winner we return to Left Hand Drive who still looks ahead of the handicapper.
