        Verdict

        Strike Up The Band gets the confident vote here with Philharmonic and Bond City heading a long list of dangers. The selection was an unlucky hird behind Celtic Mill last time out, that form looks rock solid and under conditions that suit he looks the one to be on. Philharmonic rates the main danger on his best form and although disapponting last time he has a good draw and will not be far away. Bond City is another worthy of respect on his best form but consitency is not his strong point. Bahamian Pirate has the plot draw and could go well at a price especially if there is more rain. Of the remainder Lafi has been done no favours by the draw and with this in mind for the winner we return to Strike Up The Band.
