A wide open handicap rounds off the card and there is very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Cosmic Destiny, Spoof Master and Azygous and the narrow nomination is given to Cosmic Destiny. The selection was a fair second behind Sands Crooner last time out is sure to have come on for the run and off what remains a fair mark looks the one to be on. Spoof Master rates the main danger on his latest second behind Judge 'N' Jury and he is rising in the weights for getting beaten and he is taken on with this in mind. Azygous was a fair third behind Lord Of The Reins last time out and is another with place claims but he is hard to win with. Thoughtsofstardom is game and consistent and is sure to run his race and the booking of Seb Sanders catches the eye but the suspicion is the handicapper may have caught up with him. Desperate Dan's best form is in claimers. Of the remainder, What Do You Know has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price but for the winner we are happy to return to Cosmic Destiny.
