Verdict

Silca Key gets the confident vote here with Judge Neptune and Colditz rating the main dangers. The selection won in facile fashion last time out when beating Fire In Cairo and although having a penalty for that win he again has conditions to suit and he will be hard to beat. Judge rates the main danger on his latest second behind Pakers Hill but his best form is on fast ground and he is taken on with this in mind. Colditz is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Nota Liberate but he has had plenty of chances without taking one and again he is oppose. Of the remainder Dream Lodge could improve for the fitting of a first time visor but for the winner we return to Silca Key who looks ahead of the handicapper.
