Verdict
A wide open handicap here and many can be given chances on their best form but the principals look to be Liberty Royal, Ali Bruce, Elidore and Adobe and the tentative vote goes to Ali Bruce. The selection was a fair third behind Franksalot last time and with the step up in trip sure to suit he will be hard to beat. Liberty Royal rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Ridge Boy and although he has a penalty for that win he will not be far away under conditions that suit. Elidore is another worthy of respect he was a fair fourth behind Smoothly Does It last time but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him last time and for that reason he is opposed. Adobe is another that could go well he has dropped to a handy mark and with his yard back amongst the winners he is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Zonic Boom was a fair third behind Salinor last time and is another that is open to improvement but for the winner we return to Ali Bruce.
