Verdict

Vice Admiral gets a solid shout here ahead of Compton Eclaire. Vice Admiral bolted up at Redcar four days ago and is clearly the one to beat under a penalty. Compton Eclaire is edging back towards a winning mark but has little form with ease in the going. Urban Freeway holds claims on 2002 form, but that is a long time ago now., and Culcabock holds claims on bits of form, but plenty of ease in the going would probably be a requirement. Overall, it is hard to build compelling cases for most of these, but not so with Vice Admiral who is the selection.
