        Verdict

        Ashdown Express, Moss Vale and Boogie Street are three against the field in this listed sprint and the vote is given to Moss Vale. The selection from the in-form Barry Hills yard has had things conspire against him of late but with plenty of pace in the field he is taken to lead close home and will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Ashdown Express rates the main danger on his latest third behind Goodricke but although he has the form in the book to win he is becoming hard to win with and at likely odds he is worth opposing. Boogie Street is another that will not be far away on his best form but he was slightly disappointing behind Ben baun last time and first time blinkers will need to sharpen him up if he is to score. Beckermet and Baron's Pit have place claims at best but need to improve on their latest efforts to trouble the principals and for the winner we return to Moss Vale.
