      Verdict

      The weights in this claimer very much favour top-rated SAKILE and we side with Peter Chapple-Hyam's runner ahead of Flow Chart and Magenta Strait. Having narrowly missing out on her only handicap start last time the pick looks worthy of her rating of 77. She is much the best in at the weights and her win in a maiden two starts back offers more encouragement. Flow Chart is the second highest rated in the line-up but has to give his rival five pounds. Although up against he may be suited better by this slow surface and after his own decent effort in a handicap last time he could go close. Magenta Strait has won back to back seller coming into this, both at this venue. She has plenty to do at the weights but on this form shouldn't be ruled out completely. Extearti has an outside claim based on his official mark but at the weights Salike is impossible to ignore.
