        Verdict

        Trysting Grove is a sturdy sort and Quince has a tendency to be the bridesmaid and never the bride, so we side with IGUACU. Our selection has a win over this distance to his favour and although sometimes disappointing when favourite should come on for a recent run out this month. Quince, in the visor, runs consistently and has won at this course and over this distance. However, this handicap may not suit and it could be another case of playing for the minor honours. Trysting Grove should be respected and is worth a market check. Channel Crossing has won over course and distance but this was two years ago and on recent form a return to winning ways is unlikely. With a lack of concrete form to go on, this race could be won by a number of horses, but we side with Iguacu to score in this race.
