        Verdict

        Karma Llama, Cadwell and Bivouac are three against the field in a wide open handicap and the tentative vote is given to Karma Llama. The selection has been in good form of late without winning but was a fair third behind General Feeling last time out, that form has since been franked and off the same mark here he looks a value bet in an open affair. Cadwell rates the main danger on his latest third behind Fimidalaguista but he remains a maiden after 13 starts and again he looks vulnerable under top weight. Bivouac was fourth behind Kildare Sun last time out and is sure to have come on for the run so should be watched in the market. Shunkawakhan is game and consistent and is sure to his race but he is another that is hard to win with while Circus Polka was given little assistance from the saddle last time out and could go well now back under professional handling but in a race where few can be ruled out for the winner we return to Karma Llama.
