A low grade but competitive contest. Big Daddy's Vision must be respected and Dynamalt has obvious claims but DANCE CHIEF is the one to beat. He is on a hat-trick and he will not go down without a fight.
HUSLYN CAT has shown enough in his two runs to date to suggest he can make his presence felt in a contest of this nature and he gets a confident vote. Sonar Express and Blazin Brown Boot are the dangers.
MY BOY BUTCH has made a pleasing start to his career and the son of In Excess can open his account if able to reproduce a recent C&D second. Orcas Gold and Rhinghals are others to note.
POPULAR PICK shed his maiden tag over the extended 6f here last time and he's open to more improvement now stepped up in trip for this claimer. Gold Surge and He's A Cruiser can also make the frame.
SHOWME YOURFRIENDS justified cramped odds here at the beginning of the month when getting off the mark for his new trainer Chris Stensile at the first time of asking and he's taken to continue on an upward curve. Chaching Pete and Malibu Rum rate pick of the remainder.
PRIVATE FORTUNE returned to the winner's enclosure when stepped up to 1m here latest and is taken to land a double while her well-being is assured. Sweet Nellie Brown and Class Included make most appeal of the remainder.
HOLLYWOOD HARBOR was putting in his best work in the closing stages when scoring over 6f last time and gets the verdict now granted this extra yardage. Rocky's Quest and Posse Power make most appeal of the remainder.
TAYLOR SAID landed a valuable stakes contest latest and although he needs to raise his game again now stepping up into this valuable handicap, he's very much respected in his present mood and expected to continue his improvement. Winning Machine and Awesome Gem can give him most to think about.
