      Verdict

      Pure Platinum gets the confident vote to make it win number three of the season with Rollo and Almost Broke rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when defeating Pardini over course and distance last time out. Granted he is rising in the weights but he won with a shade in hand and he is taken to defy the handicapper again.Rollo rates the main danger he also won well last time out when defeating He's The Guv'nor and looks sure to be suited by the step up in trip. However the selection has the ability to quicken and that's why he gets the vote. Almost Broke is from a yard in top form and would not be far away on his best form of two seasons ago. However he will do well to beat some of his fit in form rivals after a 599 day absence. Isou is another that has a long absence to over come while Belski looks weighted up to the hilt and for the winner we return to Pure Platinum.
