    Verdict

    A wide open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Brochrua,Front Rank and Sunnyarjun and the vote is given to Front Rank. The selection won easily last time out when beating Virtis and although he has a penalty for that win he is taken to follow up under his optimum conditions. Brochrua rates the main danger as he also won well last time out when beating Caliban. He runs off the same mark here as that was a conditional race and he will not be far away. Sunnyarjun is another last time out winner with place claims but this looks tougher than the race he beat Murphy's Nails in last time and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Magico is from a yard in form and should be noted ion the market but he looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to Front Rank.
