      Verdict

      Experience should be key in this contest so the vote goes to TRIPLE AXEL to beat Augustus John and Circle Dance. The pick makes her debut run for Jeremy Noseda after some decent efforts in Ireland including a solid looking display to land third place of 14 on the polytrack at Dundalk. Previous efforts suggest she needs cut in the ground to be at her best, so the fibresand will help, and it all adds up to looking like a winner. Like the selection Augustus John has had plenty of race experience and steps down in trip after a couple of solid efforts over further. The latest was over a mile here when third behind the consistent Mozayada and it's difficult to see if the step down in distance will be of help. Circle Dance makes his debut for his new yard after showing very little in his native Ireland. The swap will have to bring about a major improvement to score but any market support might be a clue to his chances but Triple Axel should have too much.
