Verdict

Georgian Bay hails from a yard in tremendous form being one of three winners here last week when landing a course and distance claimer from Sheisdiesel. He's been incredibly consistent all winter and still doesn't look badly treated though the runner-up is better off at the weights and has to be considered. The winner had Reckless Lad a nose behind last month conceding 3lb so there should be little between them again. Eacharn has been running well though over 7f and he was well beaten behind MASSA LUBRENSE on his only start over this trip. The winner had Reckless Lad in second that day and should confirm the form on the revised terms so gets the nod.
