      Verdict

      Soft ground would be very much an unknown for a few of these, the exceptions to that being Unison and TOP DIKTAT , and a chance is taken that the latter is ready to roll after a break as these conditions are ideal for him and he can certainly win off a low-looking mark. Canberra Cliffs is an obvious danger if she's as happy on this slower ground, with the excellent Simon Walker booked, and similar comments apply to Dream Machine . A tricky race to open the card with, then, and caution is advised.
