Charles Parnell, Digital and Mr Cellophane are three against the field in another wide open handicap and the vote is given to Digital. The selection looks sure to get the strong pace he needs from the off, looks on a handy mark and looks a value bet in a trappy affair. Charles Parnell rates the main danger on his latest second behind Observatory Star; that form has since been franked and if he runs up to that mark he will not be far away. Mr Cellophane is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he is hard to win with. Of the remainder, Premier Fantasy looks vulnerable under top weight and for the winner we return to Digital.
