        Verdict

        The form of Clear Sailing's last run has not been franked and it may pay to side with MURFREESBORO in this open-looking seller. Derek Shaw's gelding is the highest-rated horse in the line-up, being officially rated 75. His recent form in claiming company hasn't been bad and having run well at this track in the past, he is expected to last home over this longer trip. The first two were clear in Clear Sailing's race last time and he must be considered however conceding at least 6lb to his rivals makes his task much tougher. Dancing Lyra represents a trainer in good form and has been competitive from marks in the 110's over hurdles and off marks in the 80's on the flat; if fit for this return and backed in the market, it might pay to take note. Bury Treasure and Piermarini have a bit to find at the weights, whilst Bavarica is consistent and drops in class, whilst Sheer Fantastic represents shrewd connections. A competitive seller, with preference for Murfreesboro.
