Verdict
A wide open handicap gets proceedings underway and many have chances on their best gorm but the principals look to be Kingsmaite, Feelin Irie and Windy Prospect and the narrow vote is given to the last named. The selection was a fair third behind Sawwaah last time out, that form has since been franked and from a good draw he looks a value bet in an open affair. Kingsmaite rates the main danger as he is well in on his best form and ran as if about to hit his stride last time out but consistency is not his strong point and he is taken on with this in mind. Feelin Irie won well last time out when beating Mid Valley and with a top amature booked he will not be far away. Of the remainder Tyrone Sam is from a shrewd in form yard and could go well at a price but he is best when allowed to dominate and as that looks unlikely he is opposed and for the winner we return to Windy Prospect to small stakes.
