    Verdict

    In a very open looking race Fulvio is taken to beat Humility and Colloseum. The selection goes particularly well here at Dunstall Park and looked back to his best last time when chasing home Tipsy Lad last time. This race is of a similar standard and he looks the best option. Humility hit winning form last time, beating the good yardstick Sincerely at Lingfield. Taking that form literally she is head and shoulders above these on official ratings and so has to be considered a major threat to all. Colloseum also entered the winners enclosure last time, beating Wilford Maverick over course and distance. A repeat of that effort should see him involved in the finish. Rafters Music can also be given a squeak on the pick of his form, but Fulvio has the best overall profile and gets the decision.
