        Verdict

        Wahoo Sam only tends to win when getting an uncontested lead so in a race with only one other confirmed front runner, he must rate a real danger. However Mystical Ayr looks in good nick and with Royston French aboard, he gets the nod ahead of Flylowflylong. The selection tends to pull hard in his races but if he settles slightly better today, he looks sure to be involved in the finish. The ground suits and he was only beaten half a length when last seen at Hamilton. Wahoo Sam is only one pound above his last winning mark so mustn't be overlooked as he can be very dangerous if allowed to bowl along in front. Fortress didn't appear to get the trip last time out so may not be winning until he is dropped in trip, so of more interest may be Middlemarch. He looks the pick of Jim Goldie's runners and whilst he may be a tad high in the weights, he knows how to win around here. Flylowflylong holds Fortress on their running two starts back and can go well again although the ground may be a tad too quick for him. A toughie for punters, but Mystical Ayr gets the nod.
