Verdict

Forged, Kristal's Dream and Havetoavit look the three to concentrate on in this handicap and the confident vote goes to Forged. The selection was a good second in a maiden behind Into The Dark last time he enters handicaps on a decent mark and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Kristal¿s Dream rates thew main danger he was a fair second behind Feed The Meter last time but he is more exposed than the selection and for that reason he is opposed. Havetoavit is the only other runner that can be given a serious chance of winning on his best form but he was very disappointing last time, however that could have been down to the soft ground and he will appreciate this much faster surface. However he will need to improve to defeat the confident selection Forged.
