      Verdict

      A very poor race and POSITIVITY goes to the last chance saloon with Hint Of Honey and Louisiade on the shortest of shortlist. Bryan Smart's runner has not shown the desired improvement for the application of headgear but on the basis of her third in a similarly weak handicap, she has to be worth another chance to minimum stakes. Hint Of Honey won a handicap at odds of 40/1 last week. The bookmakers will not be so generous this week but as this race is so bad, she is still a factor despite rising 6lb for that victory. Louisiade has put up two stinkers in as many runs. The nine year old has some form from the past that entitles him to consideration and it would be no surprise to see him asked to lead from the gate. Highland River appears regressive while Amber Moon has won a claimer at the course previously though hardly appeals as a betting medium at present. Positivity can win the day.
