      Verdict

      Valley Of The Moon, Cosmic Destiny and Contentious look the three to concentrate on in this tight handicap and the vote is given to Cosmic Destiny to give Jamie Spencer another winner. The selection was a fair second behind Sands Crooner last time out, looks sure to have come on for the run and off the same mark here he will be hard to beat. Valley Of The Moon rates the main danger on his best form but he will do well to give weight and a beating to the race fit selection. Contentious progressed with each run last season and if he is fit after a 264 day absence he would be a danger to all. Baileys Outshine was third behind Harry Up last time and he is another with place claims but he is best when allowed to dominate and as he looks sure to be taken on for the lead he is opposed and for the winner we are happy to return to Cosmic Destiny.
