Sarah's Art, Mango Music and Spearit are three against the field in a wide open handicap and the tentative vote is given to Mango Music. The selection was a fair second behind Random Quest last time out. He runs off the same mark here and he again has conditions to suit. From what looks a good draw he makes appeal as the value bet in an open affair. Sarah's Art rates the main danger on her latest second behind Piccostar, but she just gave the impression the handicapper had caught up with her on that occasion and for that reason is opposed. Spearit is another that could go well on his latest fourth behind Tawaassol but all his best form is over a longer trip. Don't Tell Sue is game and consistent and is sure to run her race but she looks weighted up to her best. Burning Incense is from a yard in form but he is creeping up the weights without winning and with this in mind for the winner we return to Mango Music.
