    Verdict

    Not a race to be at all confident about with little form of any real substance on offer. Spin A Disc and Under Control represent leading yards but neither revealed significant promise on debut. A level of improvement can be expected but EQUITY is the choice, although far from bulletproof. Well backed on three of five starts, he has yet to really deliver but the level of his form may just prove good enough if the aforementioned pair fail to progress sufficiently. Hollywood Harry was better last time and cannot be ignored if coming on again but this is a contest to be wary of unless the market speaks very strongly of a particular contender.
