      Verdict

      Cross of Lorraine gets the confident vote here with Ragad and Villa Bianca's rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Decider last time out, that form has since been franked and in a desperate affair he is impossible to oppose. Ragad rates the main danger on his latest fifth behind Speedy Suzanne but he will be handicaped after this run and that is where his future may lie and he is passed on with this in mind. Villa Bianca's is another worthy of respect on her debut fifth behind Jabarra, she is sure to improve and should be watched in the market. The remainder have shown very little and are readily opposed and for the winner we return to Cross of Lorraine who will be hard to beat.
