Quite a competitive heat and a slight preference is given to SKY MARSHAL who has not been unduly punished by the handicapper for his consistency of late and was only headed close home last time out by Line Out who he meets on better terms here. Another consistent type who deserves respect is Goodnightngodbless who is certainly going in the right direction and may give the selection most to do. Veteran Sang Tiger ran one of his better races last time out doing his best work in the closing stages and is one to note.
