Verdict

In a wide-open contest it may be worth chancing SHABRA EMPEROR. It would be hard to describe him as well handicapped but he loves it round here and he is running well enough to expect another good showing. Ten-year old Bubbly Bellini retains his zest for racing and has a more appealing mark on AW so it would be no surprise if he is in the thick of things. Bottom weight Bluesbreaker ran better last time and could go close if the race is run to suit.
  1. Shabra Emperor
  2. Bubbly Bellini
  3. Bluesbreaker
