Verdict

A poor contest and with many of them making handicap debuts the market should prove informative. Rakematiz is one of those to keep an eye on, as is Pursuing Steed. Lesanti, Circuit and Luxford are others of that ilk, but the suggestion is to take a chance on DRAVID, who has had two sighters in handicaps, sliding 7lb in the weights. Now dropped in trip and with headgear on he might be the one for today.
  1. Dravid
  2. Pursuing Steed
  3. Luxford
