    Verdict

    City Affair, City of Manchester and Corso P)alladio look the principals here, with City Affair getting the vote. City of Manchester was placed in selling grade three runs ago, but he was well beaten last time, finishing last of four. This is a weak contest but a place may be the best he can hope for. After some moderate efforts, Corso Palladio was given a break and ran very well on his return to be a good second. If he can reproduce that effort he can go well, especially with McCoy on board again. City Affair is yet to win in over 30 attempts, but he has hit the frame in his last three starts. He is a consistent if one paced type, but this represents a good opportunity for him and City Affair can lead them home.
