      Verdict

      Blessed Place is given a narrow verdict over Parkside Pursuit and Attorney. Although not the easiest horse to catch right, Blessed Place certainly is consistent enough and with a good draw in his favour this afternoon, he holds formbook claims in a race that lacks strength in depth. Parkside Pursuit finished behind our selection on their last meeting. He has a good rider booked on this occasion and with Bradley's horses running well - a bold show should be likely. Attorney looks to have become a reformed character since joining Ron Harris and looks the better drawn of his two runners. St Austell has tumbled rapidly down the handicap but Alex Hales looks not to have found the key to him yet. Indian Bazaar should blaze the trail of those drawn low while Byo is a long-standing regular in these races. Blessed Place gets the nod in the finale.
