A competitive handicap to round off the card and Hart Of Gold is purely a speculative selection to land it. The selection is well handicapped on the best of his form and on the evidence of his Brighton effort last time off todays mark, he should go close. Don Pele is another that has plummeted down the ratings and on this rain softened ground has claims while Dualagi who has been campaigned between five and six furlongs is another favoured by an ease in the ground but does need the splits given his preferred style of running. A very competitive finale and Hart Of Gold is the pick.
