Verdict
A wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Dash For Cover,Wardash and Kind Sir and the tentative vote is given to Wardash. The selection won well last time out when beating Charlie Chapel and although this looks tougher he again has conditions to suit and off what remains a fair mark he will be hard to beat. Dash For Cover rates the main danger as he won well last time out when beating Fu Fighter, that form has since been franked and he will not be far away. Kind Sir is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Georgio but the drop in trip looks a negative and for that reason he is opposed. Loriko d'Airy is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder Native Chancer is from a yard in form and could run well at a price but for the winner we return to Wardash.
