Verdict

Wide open race with plenty of win chances. CROWN GUINEA (8) is going better than form suggests finishing fourth last two and looks well placed here. Will be hard to hold out. Same goes for MINOR KEY (4) who is racing well without winning. Tricky gate but suited here and expected to go close. The Billy Healey yard have four runners and a strong hand in the race. FUNHOUSE (2) has raced only three times and won the maiden with style last time. Has upside and can run well again. Both FAITHINHER (10) is a former Victorian having a first run for the yard. Rates well enough to feature this level and will be sitting back and running on hard on peak form.
