        Verdict

        Dancing Rave may do better back on the all-weather though has done all his winning so far over shorter trips while Voltaic’s earlier victory came in a claiming race over 6f. The latter has placed over track and trip since but VENTURA GOLD was less than a length behind on that occasion and having won off higher marks last year, Steve Collings’ charge may prove the one to side with. Juanito Chico has a shout with an apprentice taking 7lb off his back while Apex King has a poor strike rate on the all-weather and has switched yards.
