        Verdict

        Good recent form is in short supply here and making a selection proves tricky but we are going to side with WATSON'S BAY while Dalrymple and Rose of Coma are shortlisted to run well. The selection looks to have dispelled stamina doubts recently and ran a much improved race when finishing third at Kempton last time. He makes his return to turf today after spending the last year on artificial surfaces. The going should be of little concern to the colt who we expect to score now racing amongst such lowly company. Dalrymple has failed to build on the promise he showed when winning over this trip at Windsor three starts ago. He will need to up his game if he is to repeat that success but he looks capable of making the minors here. Gay Kelleway's Rose of Coma is another we expect to be thereabouts.
