Verdict

Another tough handicap here for punters to fathom with many in form rivals in opposition including Slyboots, Search And Destroy and Joshuas Bay, and we will take a chance on Slyboots. The four year old from the Charlie Mann yard won well last time out when defeating Lady Laureate and with conditions again in his favour he will be hard to beat. Search And Destroy rates the main danger he won well last time out when defeating Classic Lash but he will find this harder under his [penalty. Little Bud is also worthy of respect he is a course and distance winner and is sure to strip fitter here after his latest run and he could go well at a big price. Of the remainder Joshuas Bay is another in form but we are happy to stick with Sly boots.
