Handicap / Class B

5 2 6 3 7

ESQUEVELLE was narrowly beaten in a similar contest last time and a repeat of that performance off an unchanged mark under a 4kg claimer should suffice. RAFA BAY and ANTONIO GAUDI arrive in good form and will likely play leading roles too. ENSUING and SUTHERLAND also have the means to make their presence felt. Unexposed three-year-old WINSTON'S WONDER and SILVER LONGSWORD appeal most of the remainder.
