Verdict

Psycho Cat is taken to score here with Ohana and Mr Cheers rated as the main dangers. The selection finished a fair third behind Prettilini last time but he raced very wide that day and was doing all his best work at the finish. The return to 7f should suit and he is given a confident vote. Ohana was a fair third in a claimer last time behind African Concerto and he should appreciate the drop to selling grade. His yard are in decent form and he is one to note in the market. Mr Cheers was a fair sixth behind Miss Dagger last time out. However, that form reads quite well in the context of this contest as that was a much better race and he is respected today. Macho Dancer is one of the least exposed in the field so can't be dismissed lightly, and for the winner we return to Psycho Cat.
