        Verdict

        Sweet Pickle, Winning Pleasure and Misaro are three against the field in this tight handicap and the narrow vote is given to Sweet Pickle. The selection was a fair third behind Winthorpe last time out. That form looks rock solid in the context of this race and off the same mark here he is taken to score. Sweet Pickle rates the main danger as she has been in the form of her life of late and won well last time out when beating Doctor Dennis but she has a penalty for that win and this looks tougher and at likely odds she looks worth taking on. Misaro has a little to find with the selection the last time they met but he is sure to strip fitter here and he should be noted in the market. Doctor Dennis and Winthorpe are sure to run their races but they look weighted up to their best and for the winner we return to Winning Pleasure.
