Verdict

AMI BONDHU has shown enough in a brace of handicap starts to suggest he is capable of winning a modest race such as this. Lightonthewing is the only runner to have won a race this season, and he has claims of making it back-to-back victories, while Bobalot has a chance if in the same form as when finishing second on his reappearance/stable debut 2 weeks ago.
