Verdict

An open-looking finale can go to Rosses Point, with Sarotogane, Mylo, and Rockys Girl three others to consider. The selection was very impressive when winning two chase contests during the winter but then disappointed last time out when upped in class. He reverts to hurdles today off a mark 17lbs lower than his chase one and he could be very hard to beat if one form. The ground and trip appear to be fine so he gets the confident selection. This won't be a walkover however, with Sarotagane chasing a hat-trick. He makes his handicap debut today however his mark of 108 looks stiff enough so we will pass him over today. Rockys Girl is a course and distance winner but she is now 6lb higher so would need to put in another improved effort. Mylo heads the weights with Sarotogane but looks to be held off his current mark, whilst Young Dancer could go well at a price. We will stick with Rosses Point as our selection though as he could be capable of taking advantage of his lower hurdles mark today.
