      In depth

      Verdict

      A confident vote is given to Ushindi with Mr Maxim and Taxman worth noting. Michael Bell has his team in fine form at present and Ushindi landed himself in the winners enclosure around here over a furlong shorter two weeks ago. He had Mr. Maxim behind him that day back in third spot and although his mark has risen he still looks well treated. This looks a weaker race so he is taken to win again. Taxman is still a maiden after ten runs so his ability has to be questioned but this looks like a drop in grade so is worth noting in the market. But for the winner we return to Ushindi.
