Verdict

Not a bad handicap for the grade to open the card with one or two who may be slightly better than this pay grade. Despite falling last time Hardrock Davis looks the sort who will be able to win in this grade he’ll go close if he stays upright this time. Derrynane is another who deserves a favourable mention despite being a beaten favourite on his last two starts especially with Don McCain having a good record at the track. A chance is taken though with FORT JEFFERSON who looks off a good mark now and despite disappointing a couple of times in handicaps may well prefer the better ground. Budarri needs to prove his effectiveness on this ground with Witness Time one to watch in the market.
  1. Fort Jefferson
  2. Hardrock Davis
  3. Witness Time
