Bang Po (4/1), Secret Sauce (5/1), Not Even Maybe (11/2), Timeless Piece (6/1), Snowdonia Song (8/1), Drop The Dip (11/1), Samhradh (12/1), Bright N Shine (12/1), Happenstance (16/1), Kirikiriroa (18/1), Water Mint (22/1), Miss Langmore (22/1), Point To Prove (40/1)

A tricky low-grade 3-y-o handicap that could go to SNOWDONIA SONG, who looks the type to do better at this level. Happenstance can come on for his recent return here and take a hand. Bang Po is another to note.
