Page Point, Encore Cadoudal and Silvergino look the three to concentrate on in this handicap chase and the vote is given to Page Point. The selection ran well last time out when second behind Mckelvey, That form looks rock solid in the context of this race and he need only run up to that mark to score. , Encore Cadoudal rates the main danger as he won well last time when beating Island Faith but he has yet to win over this distance and for that reason he is passed over. Silvergino is sure to make a bold bid to make all the running but he ran as if in the handicappers grip last time. Of the remainder Ashnaya is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with while Tates Avenue is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Page Point.
