        Verdict

        Danzig River gets the confident vote here with Spiritual Peace and Nusoor rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Perfect Story and although having a penalty for that win he has won off a higher mark in the past and under conditions that suit he is taken to win again. Spiritual Peace rates the main danger on his latest third behind Geojimali but that form has since been let down and as he is also hard to win with he is taken on. Nusoor is another worthy of respect but he has had plenty of chances of late without taking one. Of the remainder Jakeini is from a yard in form but he may just need the run after a 257 day break and for the winner we return to Danzig River.
