The sprint handicap closes out the card but receiving weight from most of his main rivals SARAH'S ART is our suggestion but we wouldn't be surprised to see either Balata or Patavium Prince take this among half a dozen others. A winner last time out over this trip the selection's mark is up three pounds but that still leaves his rating in the competitive bracket. There's not much to choose between the leading players so the fact he is near the bottom of the weights might be significant. Balata is rated five pounds heavier than the last time this one scored but having run well in defeat off this mark recently he's not out of the equation. Patavium Prince was successful on his last start but might suffer under top weight while Bateleur at the opposite end of the weights may take advantage of that fact whilst in this mood. This really is a tricky race to call and Sarah's Art is just a tentative suggestion.
