      Verdict

      We've got a maiden to finish proceedings and it looks in the lap of FLAMSTEED while Speak The Truth the danger and Only Hope one of several looking outclassed. The pick is rated at least 10lbs better than his nearest rival and has been improving with every run. In his latest effort he looked every bit the winner before not quite lasting home so the step down to the minimum trip looks a good move. Speak The Truth then looks to have a bit of improving to do based on the official marks but has some good enough form for this level on his side in handicaps. The drop into maiden company will be of help over what looks his best trip. Only Hope, Geese A Laying, Kalligal and Wicksy Creek all look to have too much to do this time and it looks a good opportunity for Flamsteed to score.
