Verdict

Another closely matched group of rivals have been assembled for this 0-85 rated contest, but Lara Farlana is holding her form well at present and she is chosen to maintain her good strike-rate with one of the top claimers of the current crop booked for the ride. The ultra tough Den's Joy and Sylarker are taken to give the selection the most to do, although it could also be dangerous to underestimate Face The Limelight. However, Brooke Sanders has done a very good job with Lara Farlana and she will be very difficult to get the better of, assuming that the ground stays on the fast side. Tough Leader has some useful form at this course and is another to consider if the indications from the betting markets are positive about Martin Pipe's inmate.
