Verdict

A highly competitive handicap that can see MASSIF CENTRAL take the step up in trip in his stride to record a first victory of the season. The selection has run well over 1m the last twice and can get the better of Mawaany who is likely to have improved for his seasonal debut. Lucius Tiberius has won twice this campaign and can finish third following a hefty rise in the weights.
  1. Massif Central
  2. Mawaany
  3. Lucius Tiberius
