6/5

Interesting that connections have dropped him in trip for this reappearance as he's bred for further. Gelded since we last saw him and starts life in handicaps on a fair mark. Money for him would be significant.

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 80

5/4

Ran well in four of his five starts last term and one or two bits of that form would suggest this mark is fair. Raced exclusively at this trip and well worth considering.

Branscombe^b³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: S De Sousa| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 77| CD

4/1

Had a busy start to the year and is now 10lbs higher than when winning here two starts back. Not so good next time and may struggle against a couple of potential improvers.

Forecasts

Al Barg (6/5), Prince Ahwahnee (5/4), Big Time Maybe (2/1), Branscombe (4/1)

Hard to discounted any of the four runners. Branscombe disappointed last time and may be handicapped to his best for now. Big Time Maybe is race fit and has been running well over 5f this season. Al Barg has significant potential to improve this year and moves in to handicaps on a good mark but preference today is for PRINCE AHWAHNEE. He arguably had the best form of these as a two-year-old and if he’s fit and ready to go he can make a winning return with Adam Kirby booked to ride.
