5/1
Modest maiden. Third over C&D this month. Race may have come too soon when sixth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) just 2 days later. Back up in trip. Blinkers on first time. Should be thereabouts.

Modest form. Good second (Downtown Dubai third) over C&D 17 days ago but again didn't look straightforward (carried head high). Blinkers on first time.

5/2
Well held in 4 qualifying runs at up to 1m last autumn but no surprise were he to prove a different proposition now handicapping over further in first-time blinkers. Market confidence likely significant.

Forecasts

Wilpena Pound (5/2), The Pug (7/2), Dovena (5/1), Downtown Dubai (5/1), Think Champagne (8/1), Fullforward (10/1), Alodia (14/1), Arlecchino's Star (40/1)

Verdict

The vote goes to Sir Mark Prescott handicap newcomer WILPENA POUND, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Downtown Dubai and The Pug, who are closely matched on C&D form earlier in the month, could be the pair to give the selection most to think about.

  1. Wilpena Pound5/2
  2. Downtown Dubai5/1
  3. The Pug7/2
