Verdict
Even in a moderate contest such as this, there are still half the field out of the handicap. Eastwood Drifter, a regular in these types of event, comes here in good form and looks the one to beat. He stays this trip well and appears to act on any going. Failed pointer Doyenne didn't achieve much when finishing second last time, while Dinky Dora has yet to prove she stays this trip.
