Verdict

Schmidt is somewhat interesting on handicap debut but is probably a little too high in the weights to strike on his first attempt in this sphere and preference is for RANDALLS UR POET. As a juvenile he is much younger than most of these but has shaped well without winning throughout his short career so far and it would be no surprise if there is plenty of improvement to come from towards the foot of the weights. In a race where those near the bottom of the card by dominate, Mick The Boyo is a clear danger following his C&D win last time out.
  1. Randalls Ur Poet
  2. Mick The Boyo
  3. Schmidt
