      Verdict

      The official BHB ratings hand Water Of Life a huge advantage in this pretty moderate heat. However, she has been well held in moderate company on numerous occasions and the assessor has been a little slow to react. That said, she ran better than her finishing position would suggest in her latest start and she should be up to taking a race of this nature if she can improve on that run. Umista, Didoe and Good Form have shown very little to recommend them as alternatives so the newcomer, Delta Force, would not need to be anything special to be a threat to Water Of Life on his belated racecourse debut.
