Verdict

Another tough handicap here for punters to fathom but something has to win and the main protagonists look to be Moonlight Man,Morbick and Blacktoft and the tentative vote is given to Moonlight Man. The selection was a fair fourth behind Prime Number last time out, looks sure to have the race run to suit and he looks a value bet. Morbick rates the main danger on his latest third behind Royal Amnesty but he just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with him on that occasion and he is taken on with this in mind. Blacktoft was third behind Safari Sundowner last time out and is another with place claims but this hold up performer will need plenty of luck in running if he is to score. Urban Warrior is another with place claims on his latest second behind Justcallmehandsome but consistency is not his strong suit and for the winner we return to Moonlight Man.
