A wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the main protagonists look to be Tag Team Heavens Walk and Garlogs and the narrow vote is given to Tag Team. The selection won well last time when beaqting Benny The Bus and although rising in the weights and dropping in trip he has a good draw and looks a value bet in an open affair. Heavens Walk rates the main danger as he was a fair second behind Little Edward last time but he just gave the impresion the handicaper had caught up with him on that occasion. Garlogs is another that could go well on his latest fourth behind Tarentina but he is another that looks weighted up to his best. Smiddy Hill looksa sure to have the race run to suit and could go well at a price while Harrison's Flyer is well in on his best form and is another with place claims but in a race where stakes should be kept to a minim,um for the winner we return to Tag Team.
