Verdict

In a race full of exposed handicappers, BLAZING SADDLES is the one to beat. The gelding has been much-improved in his last two starts and if he can stop his tendency to hang then he looks likely to be provide his jockey with a notable success. The veteran Be Perfect looked to have thrived in this company in his last two starts and while this is a step up in grade, he should give a good account for himself. King Of The Sand could also be a dangerous player if he is given a soft lead in the race.
  1. Blazing Saddles
  2. Be Perfect
  3. King Of The Sand
