Verdict

Fire Dragon gets the confident vote to make it three in a row with Canadian Storm and Moorlaw rating the main dangers. The selection has won his only two races to date with plenty in hand and although he has a double penalty he is taken to win again under conditions that suit. Canadian Storm rates the main danger he was a fair second behind Taranai on his debut and he is sure to improve but he will need to do so if he is to beat the selection. Moorlaw was a fair sort on the flat and is from a top yard so he is worth noting in the market but he is not guaranteed to stay. Of the remainder Three Welshman showed a modicum of ability on his debut and is another sure to improve but he gave the impression he would be suited by further and for the winner we return to Fire Dragon.
