Verdict

A wide-open handicap in which the 3-y-o runners make more appeal than their elders. ROYAL HEART has fewer miles on the clock than most of these and on the pick of his form would have a decent chance under a good value 5 lb claimer. Ventura Vision is a C&D winner that should appreciate the return to polytrack and she has to be taken seriously. Of the older horses, Velvet Vista makes most appeal.
