Verdict

GOUGANE BARRA did well to finish a close fourth despite meeting trouble over C&D last time and, with a clear run, he could be up to taking this open-looking handicap. Drakensberg linked up well with his promising claimer over 12f here last time, so he makes plenty of appeal under a penalty, while the in-form Boasty shouldn't be ruled out.
