        Verdict

        Eskimo's Nest is not an obvious form choice here but could spring a surprise by beating Bodden Bay and Spark Up. The Shaw yard is in great form at present and if Eskimo's Nest can return to his best she could prove hard to beat. She earned a rating in the late sixties back in 2004 with some good efforts over this distance. Her recent efforts have been over much further and back over a more realistic trip it would be no surprise to see her show improved form. Bodden Bay makes a quick return to the track having chased home White Bear last Wednesday. There were some consistent performers behind that day so the form could be rock solid. Spark Up has shown signs of a return to form and is expected to be in the shake up despite carrying joint top-weight. The pick of the others could be The Job, but dont't let the row of duck eggs put you off Eskimo's Nest who could be the value selection.
