Verdict

Not a strong event by any means and several of these are searching for their form or some progress. PROJECT MARS looked to run well enough here last time and despite just giving best close home with another change of headgear he could go one better today. Summer Getaway looks as though he could emerge to be one of the chief threats especially as he now runs off a career-low mark. Dropzone isn’t one to trust implicitly but he should be sharper for his last run and has a place chance if he’s on his best behaviour. Of those tried only recently tried in handicaps Alltimegold and Robin De Broome are two that shouldn’t totally be written off.
  1. Project Mars
  2. Summer Getaway
  3. Dropzone
