Verdict
A wide open contest gets proceedings underway but the main protagonists look to be Mount Benger, Oscar Jacjk and Bauhaus and the narrow vote is given to Mount Benger. The selection has been in good form of late and won well last time out when beating Corker with a little in hand and although rising in the weights he again has conditions to suit and he wil;l be hard to beat. Oscar Jack rates the main danger on his latest third behind Ginton but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time . Bauhaus is another that could go well on his latest second behind Sakenos but he is rising in the weights without winning and he is taken on with this in mind. Star Double ran well last time out but all his best form is over a longer trip. This is a wide open affair and the market will be very informitive but for the winner we return to the progressive Mount Benger.
