      Verdict

      A tight handicap here with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Feeling Fresh, The Mighty One and Captain Crooner and the vote is given to Feeling Fresh. The selection won well last time out when beating Yankee Storm. That horse has since franked the form and, off what remains a fair mark, he looks the one to be on. The Mighty One rates the main danger as he won last time out when defeating Desert Pride aand he has plenty of scope for improvement. However, he looks to have plenty of weight and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Captain Crooner is another worthy of respect as he beat Liani last time but this looks tougher. Of the remainder, Only A Game was second behind Ice Quebec last time and is another with place claims but Feeling Fresh looks ahead of the handicaper and he is taken to win again.
