      Verdict

      High Class Problem has been something of an eye-catcher and is becoming expensive to follow but is given one last chance in a race that should not take a great deal of winning and where the main dangers look to be Murrumbidgee and My Lovely Lady. The last mentioned has to give weight away all round and has claims on the pick of her form but is hard to recommend on the evidence of her latest start at Yarmouth. Salvestro could probably do with being dropped a few more pounds, while Dallma is open to improvement but needs to improve to trouble the judge. Snow Symphony gave little sign of encouragement on his handicap debut last time, while Merchant Bankes has had plenty of chances and is hard to back with confidence. Salisbury winner Murrumbidgee has struggled off his new mark since then and preference is for High Class Problem who looks to have been found suitable opportunity to finally open his account.
