        Verdict

        Fantasy Defender, Balerno and Fateful Attraction are three against the field in a competitive handicap and the narrow vote is given to Fantasy Defender. The selection won with a little in hand last time out and although rising in the weights he looks ahead of the handicapper and despite his [poor draw he is taken to score. Balerno rates the main danger but he was behind the selection last time and although he is better off at the weights he still has a little to find. Fateful Attraction is another worthy of respect on his latest fourth behind Takitwo but he has yet to win over this trip. Quantica has dropped to a handy mark and could go well at a price while Bollywood shaped as if returning to form last time and is another that could go well but Fantasy Defender still looks ahead of the handicapper and he is taken to score.
