        Verdict

        SILCA MEYDAN sets the benchmark for the others here and he is nominated to get the better of Circle Dance and The Last Alzao. The selection has shaped with promise on each of his three runs so far and he is dropped back to the minimum trip for the first time today. He did run green last time so there should be more to come and from a good low draw he stands out as the one to beat. Circle Dance finished fifth here last week and he has had a few chances now. He looks a quirky sort and although he has ability, he has basically been disappointing. The Last Alzao will not have to be anything special to win this on her racecourse debut but the yard are not firing on all cylinders at present and unless the market suggests otherwise, she may be best watched. Baby Queen has the best of the draw and she shaped with a modicum of ability on her debut here last week. A tight race to call and the vote is given to Silca Meydan.
