Verdict
A small but competitive field goes to post for this handicap hurdle. Mindanao was a good second behind Lord Transcend last time out, he is proven in the ground and he is taken to score with the Len Lungo yard beginning to hit top form. Bergarmo rates the main danger he has been running well in much more competitive contests of late and he will relish this fast ground. Mill Emerald was third in a claimer behind Hugo De Perro last time and needs to improve slightly for this faster ground to score. Political Sox is better when there is more cut under foot, while Tee-Jay has been woefully out of form of late.
