        Verdict

        A weak claimer can go to Rainbow Bay at the main expense of Ishibee and Seriously Lucky. The selection has only won once in 18 career starts and that stat indicates the weakness of this contest. He is one of the more consistent runners in the lineup, handles the ground, and gets the tentative nomination. The Salwick Flyer has won over course and distance before so warrants respect but has been badly out of form of late although a mini-break may have refreshed him somewhat. Seriously Lucky didn't show a lot as a juvenile but should appreciate this easier grade. Ishibee has place claims once again but tends to find at least one too good, whilst Polly Rocket could go well at a price on the turf for the first time. A weak race, and Rainbow Bay is the selection for pennies.
