      Verdict

      A modest handicap and a decent opportunity for HENPECKED to gain some compensation for being thrown out by the stewards after beating Moon Arc a head over a longer trip here last month. Starshaped started favourite in that race but never looked like winning and isn't improving. Bussa and Mercury are both recent winners, however, so worth a second look while Penelope Pitstop has been knocking on the door and could make the frame again.
