Verdict

Digital,Chinalea and Roman Quintet are three against the field in a tough race to call for punters and the tentative nomination is given to Digital. The selection won well last time out when beating Brigadore will relish the conditions and although having a penalty for that win he has won off a higher mark in the past and he is taken to win again. Chinalea rates the main danger on his latest third behind Romany Nights especially as the return to this shorter trip should suit and he should be watched in the market. Roman Quinjtet is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Sir Desmond but he is becoming hard to win with and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Distant Times was a fair second last time out and is another that will handle the ground but consistency is not his strong point. Of the remainder Balakiref won well last time out but will find this hard under his penalty and in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Digital.
