      Verdict

      DART has plenty going for her here. She is only 2lb higher than when winning over C&D last month and, though she has won over further, this is arguably her best trip. John Mackie's mare has the beating of Leyte Gulf on their running over 2m here in November and she gets the vote. Inside Knowledge has gone up 12lb in the weights since winning over 2m last month and Camps Bay's recent string of seconds fail to inspire confidence. Sheila's Bond looks up against it in this company and Mr Plod is returning from a long absence.
