        Verdict

        There's not much separating these in a tight claimer, but KING'S COLOUR is the tentative selection despite having a bit to find at the weights. He was having only his second start over today's trip when scoring easily over C&D last month and is worth sticking with in his current form. Irons On Fire needed 1m4f to get his head back in front at this track a week ago, while Ajdaad's three wins on Polytrack have all been over shorter distances. Spinning Ridge has been in good form in low grade handicaps at around a mile and should go well again, but recent C&D winner Resplendent Alpha was engaged to run here yesterday.
