      Verdict

      The top four in the weights all share the same official handicap rating but Copperwood is still weighted to get involved despite his lower mark. Mahadee won a seller over 1m4f here last month but has something to find on collateral form with last year's winner Officer In Command. The latter's recent form also looks stronger than Gaelic Silver's victory in a plating race here last time, but the tentative vote in a wide-open affair goes to MUNSARIM. He landed a handicap over track and trip last week and a similar effort should see him in contention once again.
