        Verdict

        What A Business never seems to run a bad race but has a poor win ratio. Soft going could be an issue for Ginger Max but Case Key is due another victory and it is a similar story with Round The Island. Held up to get the 7f trip last time at Ayr, VIVA VOCE should be better suited by this stiff 6f and has already won on soft going this year so gets the nod with Sin E Shekells and Sweet Pursuit best of the rest.
