        Verdict

        FLASHY MAX comes here chasing the hat-trick and gets our vote of confidence to complete that feat; Rossini's Dancer and Casino Night look the most obvious dangers. Jedd O'Keeffe doesn't have many horses but he had a good winner at the track on Friday and his progressive filly looks capable of adding another success. She has taken her last two races in gutsy fashion and as a result the handicapper has not been too harsh; given a break after her last win she is taken to run well here. Ceili Mor is unexposed and not one to take lightly on her fifth start; this softer ground may see her in a better light but it will certainly need to. Rossini's Dancer represents a stable in good form and she ran well in defeat last time behind Casino Night who has only gone up two pounds for that success. Natural Rhythm and Pinewood Lulu add some more intrigue to the race however it is Flashy Max who receives the vote.
