    Verdict

    Go Tech, Millville and Pagan Sky are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the narrow vote is given to Go Tech. The selection returns to the All-Weather on a very lenient mark and from a good draw he is taken to make all. Millville rates the main danger on his latest third behind Heartstead Wings. This looks easier but he looks vulnerable to some less exposed types and for that reason he is opposed. Pagan Sky is another that could go well but he continues to rise in the weights without winning and he looks opposable on that basis.Wild Savanna is from a yard in form and is another with place claims but he is another that looks weighted up to his best. Of the remainder Sri Diamond goes particularly well at the track and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to the well handicapped Go Tech.
