        Verdict

        Dixieland Boy can get the better of Going Skint and Mill By The Stream in a competitive finale. Mill By The Stream has won his last two races, and despite shouldering a six pound penalty here he is respected. His wins have come over this course and distance and he looks sure to be in the shake up. Going Skint lost his maiden tag at the sixth attempt last time over the course and distance. He had shown glimmers of ability before that surprise win but is passed over here. Dixieland Boy had been runner up on three occasions and benefitted from the drop to six furlongs whenn landing the odds last time. That will have been a boost to his confidence, and running over the same course and distance here, Dixieland Boy is taken to follow up.
