Verdict
A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Upright Ima, Mycenean Prince and Malt de Vergy and the narrow vote is given to Upright Ima. The selection was a fair second behind the well handicaped Im Spartacus last time out, that form looks solid and off the same mark here he looks the one to be on. Mycenean Prince rates the main danger on his latest second behind Plemot Bay the drop in trip should suit and he should be watched in the market. Malt de Vergy has conditions to suit and could go well at a price but he has not gone on as expected. Of the remainder Malton is another worth look in the market on his first try in a handicap on this ground but for the winner we return to Upright Ima whose form looks solid.
