Verdict
Fyodor gets the vote here with Fromsong and Les Arcs rating the main dangers. The selection won with a little in hand last time out when beating Yamalo and although he has a penalty for that win, that form has since been franked and from a good draw he is taken to defy the handicapper with Jamie Spencer aboard. Les Arcs rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Kostar but he has yet to win over the minimum trip and he looks opposable on that basis. Fromsong goes well at the track and looks sure to have the race run to suit but he may just need it after a 49 day absence. Undeterred is well in on his best form but he was beaten in a claimer last time so can not be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Dancing Mystery was a fair second in a similar race last time out and is another that could go well but she is finding it hard to win and with this in mind for the winner we return to Fyodor who is taken to defy his penalty
