Verdict

Kiswahili gets the confident vote here with Lost Soldier Threeand Sunday Symphony rating the main dangers. The selection showed improved form when winning last time out, remains unexposed over the trip and under conditions that suit he looks the value bet. Lost Solider Three rates the main danger on his best form but he has dissapointed of late and from a poor draw and under top weight he looks vulnerable. Sunday Symphony is anorther that could go well but the suspicion is he may just need the run after a 360 day abscence. Of the remainder New Guinea,is another from a yard in form that could go well at ba price but for the winner we return to the progressive Kiswahili
