Juzilla, Billy One Punch and Machinate are three against the field in another tight handicap and the narrow nomination is given to Juzila. The selection was a fair second behind Rebellious Spirit last time out that form has since been franked and off the same mark here he looks the one to be on. Billy One Punch rates the main danger on his latest second behind Dinner Date but he is very hard to win with. Machinate was a fair third behind Mountain Pass last time out and again has place claims but he has already indicated he is in the handicapper's grip at present. Wisdom's Kiss was a fair second behind General Feeling last time out and is improving with each run so could go well while Sovereignty was third behind Kalemon last time but he has yet to win over this trip and for the winner we return to Juzilla.
