Verdict

A cracking spirnt handicap with most in with a feasible chance of getting involved at the business end of the contest. Narrow preference is for PRIMO UOMO who began this term as he ended last and has a sporting chance of defying the handicapper and landing a hattrick. Dangers include Sors, who ran as though he need the outing on his seasonal return, the formerly useful sprinter ex-English Dinkum Diamond, still settling into his new surroundings, and Tithonus, high enough in the weights but further imrovement this seaosn not ruled out. Imagine If may do best of the rest.
  1. Primo Uomo
  2. Sors
  3. Tithonus
