        Verdict

        St John Gray is not making it easy for punters in this last race before the enforced shutdown. He has a trio of entries and two look to have decent claims. Grindelwald will probably the one that attracts most market support having secured a second career victory at Turffontein earlier this month. But we might give another chance to UNDISCLOSED, who didn’t get the run of the race when favourite at Turffontein a week ago. He can reverse that form with Bridge Of Spies as he’d looked progressive earlier. Strikeitlikeamatch could figure if on a going day but Roger The Dodger may not be suited by the step up in distance. With two withdrawals, Baahir gets a run and could be best of the rest.
