Verdict

INDIANA BE has suggested that he's not the most straightforward of characters at times but there was nothing wrong this month when he routed his rivals over the extended mile at Hamilton. He's not been missed by the assessor but might just be worth staying with if delivering further progression. Bosc Girl is fairly treated for her handicap bow although her maiden efforts are pretty ordinary if consistent. She's one of the more interesting ones though as she arrives lightly-raced and unexposed. Monte Linas and Opera Forever hail from classy yards raiding the north, but both have something to prove at present. Therefore, it may be wiser to move to the bottom of the weights where Impulsive Reaction and Wilde And Dandy look attractively handicapped and are added to the shortlist.
