      Verdict

      Minister of State gets the confident vote in this handicap with Bosset and Brave Fight rating the main dangers. The selection won with a little in hand last time out when beating North Walk and although he is rising in the weights he looks a progressive type and is taken to win this before going on to better things. Bosset rates the main danger on his latest second behind Kelucia but he looks to have plenty of weight for his first time in a handicap. Brave Fight is another that could go well on his latest second behind Cross The Line but the suspicion is he will be seen to better effect over a longer trip in time. Of the remainder, Balik Pearls would have a chance on her best form but disappointed for no apparent reason last time so can not be put forward with any confidence and with this in mind for the winner we return to the progressive Minster Of State.
