        Verdict

        For this contest the shortlist consists of Playful Dane, Catch The Cat, Musical Fair, Mirasol Princess and Scottish Exile, with the vote going to Musical Fair. The selection is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and, given that she is racing from a mark that is just two pounds above a winning one, well, she is entitled to go well. Playful Dane is also a course winner, comes here in good form and, with a very good five-pound claimer booked, can also have a case built for him. Catch The Cat comes into things based on the fact that his three-pound claimer brings him back to a winning mark, while Mirasol Princess won from a higher mark than today's as a juvenile and looked to be heading into form last time. Add into the mix Scottish Exile, who is just two-pounds above a winning mark and you can tell that the race is competitive, A word should also be said about Fyodor. He is lightly raced and open to a deal of improvement but the question is, is five furlongs on this type of track too sharp for him? Once again, then, for the selection we return to Musical Fair.
