Verdict
Ordnance Row, Audience and Moody Tunes are three against the field in this competitive handicap and the narrow vote is given to Ordnance Row. The selection was a fair fifth behind Blythe Knight in a better race last time out and off the same mark here he looks a value bet in an open affair. Audience rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Plim Pudding but this hold up performer will need plenty of luck in running on this track and he looks opposable on that basis. Moody Tunes won well last time out when beating Surwaki but he looks vulnerable under his penalty. Of the remainder Ebert ran well last time out but is rising in the weights for being beaten while Dansili Dancer looks vulnerable under top weight and for the winner we return to Ordnance Row.
