    Verdict

    We will take a chance here that the drop to five furlongs will suit Dunn'o and he gets the vote ahead of Victoria Valentine and Fly In Johnny. Dunn'o has put in two excellent efforts over the six furlong trip and they have tried different tactics on both occasions. He pulled very hard when held up last time and if they decide to just let him go from the off today he may have too much speed for these rivals. Victoria Valentine has been running much better than the form figures suggest and has shown plenty of speed in six furlong events. She should relish this drop to the minimum and looks a real danger to all. Fly In Johnny hails from a yard that always have to be respected here at Bath and he has shown promise in two decent maidens. The best of the rest could be Balata, but Dunn'o has plenty going for him and he gets the decision.
