A tight handicap where a few will fancy their chances although with the exception of the three-year-old Archer’s Arrow most are fairly exposed and he’s one that makes some appeal with the possibility of better to come. Human Nature would be dangerous with an easy lead here but that’s not guaranteed and both Honiara and Handytalk are to be respected after running well of late. FRANK BRIDGE runs this course well and may well be able to build on his good second here last time out in a competitive affair.
