Palouse, Mr Nemo and Something Dandy are three against the field in this competitive handicap chase and the confident vote goes to Palouse. The selection won well last time out when defeating Tresor Preziniere and although he has a penalty for that ein he won in the style of an improve and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat. Mr Nemo rates the main danger on his best form but he was pulled up for no apparent reason last time and for that reason he is opposed. Something Dandy is another worthy of respect but he may just need the run after a 131 day absence. Of the remainder Was A Drive showed improved form to be second behind Catch The Perk last time but he would not want any more rain and is far from consistent and for the winner we return to Palouse.
