Verdict

Open race to close out the card. KING INCANTO (1) settled well back last time but warmed up late to finish a very close second over 7f at Albury. Has a low draw and is among the winning hopes in a race affected by some key scractchings. HOT CHILLI MAMA (10) resumes here but has revved up for this with two recent jumpouts and gets in well at the weights with the 3lbs claim. Can run a race while fresh. BOULDER JACK (3) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be underestimated despite the wide alley. CAPTAIN BARBOSSA (4) will be ready to peak now thrid run back from the break and has to be included in calculations.
