    Verdict

    Only four runners go to post for the next race but all four have genuine chances of claiming this prize. That been said a tentative nod goes the way of DUKE OF MALFI ahead of Carrietau. Lucinda Russell's horse has been in decent form of late having won his second last start by a wide margin. His latest effort was a bit uninspiring but the step up in trip was never going to suit the speedy bred son of Alflora. Today's drop in trip will suit and his front running style could string these out. A little bit of rain may be needed but showers are forecast. Carrietau will have to lump top weight around but he has carried similar weights to success on softer ground. He was also pulled up on his latest start but the drop in trip is sure to suit this horse also. Jim Tango and Well Oiled need market checks but Duke Of Malfi gets the nod in the hope a little bit of rain arrives.
