A typically wide-open renewal of this race but at the projected odds, it might be worth taking a chance on SINGLEFARMPAYMENT. While his finishing effort is somewhat questionable, he will be hard to keep out of the first four with a reproduction of his effort last time and he ran well in this race last year. Dangers to the selection include last year's winner Coo Star Sivola who is back on a workable handicap mark and Give Me A Copper who could be well treated.
