Verdict
A competitive heat with all five being given some sort of chance although the course didn't appear to suit Zamjar last time out and Buxted Dream making his handicap debut having not impressed in maidens. Otomo and BLACK CAESAR give Philip Hide a strong hand in this and the latter has shown a liking for this course and looks the pick of his pair with Bahamian Sunrise capable of going close in this off top weight having shown he can act on this course before.
