Verdict

Golden Spectrum, Holiday Cocktail and Pitbull are three against the field in a completive handicap and the tentative nomination is given to Golden Spectrum. The selection was a fair third in what looked a better race behind Mr Grand Lodge last time out. That form looks rock solid and despite top weight he looks the one to be on. Holiday Cocktail rates the main danger on his latest second behind Bavarica. He looks sure to be suited by the return to this shorter trip and with his yard continuing in good form he should be watched in the market. Pitbull was third behind Choysia last time out and could improve for the fitting of first time cheekpecies. Of the remainder Casablanca Minx is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but is hard to win with and wit this in mind for the winner we return to Golden Spectrum.
