      Verdict

      Waterside gets the vote here ahead of Sawwaah, with Distant Country looking best of the rest. Waterside's overall recent form makes him a major player in this contest, one in which he narrowly comes out second best in the adjusted ratings. He also goes well at switchback tracks. Sawwaah skipped an engagement yesterday and he looks to have been found a race in which he holds leading claims, being the best in on adjusted official ratings. With most of his opponents looking modest, he must surely go well. Best of the rest looks to be the talented but in-and-out Distant Country, who should be up to bagging some money tonight. Overall, though, Waterside should give you a good run for your money.
