Verdict

A one would expect for a Saturday handicap at the track this won’t be easy to win and there are several with chances. Gary Moore won this last year so his Waikiki Waves has to be respected although he yet to face a field of this quality and the same could be said of Mercy Mercy Me but he does look to have room for further progress. The 2018 winner Chef D’Equipe has to be respected despite heading the weights but its Dashing Perk who looks one of the main dangers a scorer over C&D last time in impressive fashion there looks to be more to come. MYSTICAL CLOUDS is the suggestion though after his promising Leicester fourth where he was considerately handled.
  1. Mystical Clouds
  2. Dashing Perk
  3. Waikiki Waves
