Verdict

Recent winner Formidable Will just gets the verdict here ahead of Take It There and Dream Forest. Mick Easterby's four-year-old hit winning form with a vengeance l;ast time, coming home four lengths clear of For Life over course and distance. That was only his fourth run of the season so there is room for a lot more improvement as well. Take It There caused a bit of a shock when successful here last time but there appeared to be no fluke about it and she should be involved in the finish again. Dream Forest has a similar profile and if repeating his easy banded success he should be on the premises. Legal Love and Shrine Mountain are also running well at present, but Formidable Will looks to have the strongest form on show and he gets the verdict.
