      Verdict

      Pivotalia, Path To Glory and Bidable look the three to concentrate on in this tight handicap and the nomination is given to Pivotalia. The selection was a fair third behind Furbeseta last time out. This contest looks slightly less competitive and off the same mark here she looks the one to be on. Path To Glory rates the main danger on his latest second behind Spider's Kingdom but the drop in distance has to be of concern. Bidable is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Montrachet but he is one-paced at the end of his races and he looks vulnerable to something with a finishing kick. Tina's Ridge won last time out when defeating Dr Dream but that was a seller and she is taken on under a penalty in this higher grade. Of the remainder, Hot Property is unexposed and could improve but Pivotalia looks to be going the right way and she is taken to score.
