        Verdict

        Cape Win gets the vote to win this claimer with Participation and Wee Charlie Castle rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Elusive Warrior last time out. That form looks rock solid in the context of this race and with the step-up in trip also in his favour he will be hard to beat. Participation rates the main danger as he is taking a big drop in class and with his yard in top form he should be closely watched in the market. Wee Charlie Castle is another that could go well on his latest second behind Starship but he should win more races than he does and at likely odds he looks worth taking on. Of the remainder, Envision is another dropping in grade and could improve for the return to this faster surface so he should be noted in the market. But in a trappy affair for the winner we return to Cape Win who looks to have everything in his favour.
