Verdict

The return to a sound surface can see ESKENDASH register his first handicap victory in what looks a competitive affair. The selection ran well when runner-up over C&D in May but disappointed on softer ground subsequently and he can get the better of his rivals here with Outback Blue , third the last twice taken to finish best of the race in second. Lexington Law claim third wearing a visor for the first time today.
