      Verdict

      Several have a shout at the weights including MOON TROUBLE. The latter has placed in plating company in the process of tumbling down the handicap and should be thereabouts at the finish. Steelriver is usually in the mix at this level and is another with every chance on these terms. He’s preferred to Smokey Lane, who drops back down in trip, while Mujassam has his first outing since October though won a claimer over track and trip last year. Balata Bay may improve on his second start after wind surgery and is preferred to Rapidash.
