A large field goes to post for this competitive handicap and many can be given chances on their best form but the principals appear to be Sharoura, Victoria Park, Tancred Times and Pilgrim Princess and we will take a chance on Sharoura. The gelding from the Richard Fahey hard has been in good form of late has a good draw and a reproduction of his latest third behind Indian Warrior would make him hard to beat. Victoria Park is another that has a good draw but he has ran as if in the handicappers grip on his last two runs and for that reason he is opposed on this occasion. Tancred Times is another worthy of consideration she goes particularly well at this track but she has not won off a mark this high for over a year. Pilgrim Princess is another in form and it is interesting that Adrian Nicholls rides this instead of Victoria Park. However Pilgrim Princess has a tricky draw to over come. Of the remainder Mitsuki and Collage Queen are from shrew yards and are worth noting in the market but we are happy to stick with Sharoura.
