In depth

Verdict

Inter Vision, Silver Dip and Zomerlust are three against the field in another tight affair and the vote is given to Inter Vision. The selection won well last time out when beating Areyoutalkingtome over the course and distance. Granted he is rising in the weights and is not ideally drawn, but with the race looking sure to be run to suit he is taken to score. Silver Dip rates the main danger as she also won well last time out when defeating Creative Mind but this looks tougher and she looks vulnerable under her penalty. Zomerlust is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Geojimali but he looks vulnerable off this mark. Of the remainder, Commando Scott is from a yard in form but his best efforts have come on ground which has been soft or heavy and he looks opposable on that basis. This is a trappy affair and stakes should be kept to a minimum but for the winner we return to Inter Vision who looked progressive last time out.
