A competitive claimer gets proceedings underway and the main protagonists look to be Wahoo Sam, Climate and Paparaazi and the vote is given to Wahoo Sam. The selection made all to defeat Kabis Amigos last time out in similar grade, he again has conditions to suit and from a plot draw he is hard to oppose. Climate rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Final Esteem but he has benn done no favours by the draw and at likely odds looks worth taking on. Paparaazi is droping in grade but is not proven over the trip. Of the remainder Final Esteem has a little to find with the pricipals and for the winner we return to Wahoo Sam who is taken to make all.
