Not beaten that far here over 1m2f (handicap) last month, 4l behind The Playboy Bomber; from powerful stable and he meets the required standard ability wise; can be in the thick of things as some leniency shown by handicapper and has proved he knows how to win.

Best Candidate silk
Best Candidate
J: M Yeni
T: M N Houdalakis
Managed two wins in his last three outings; got home in front by three-quarters of a length at Vaal over 1m½f (handicap) last month; this only his second handicap outing; has a reasonable shout with a good draw to help and this step up in class unlikely to hinder him.

Verdict

Jordan has been hiked up the weights which tempers enthusiasm while Best Candidate has a cracking draw. But THE PLAYBOY BOMBER is a firm choice. He should be able to confirm placings with Robert Browning, Jordan and Apache Son and has won over this C&D.
