          Verdict

          A wide-open contest rounds off the card and many would have chances on their best form but the principals look to be Concer Eto, Neon Blue, Tuscarora and Hills of Gold, with the vote going to Neon Blue. The selection won well last time out when defeating Distant Connection and, with conditions again in his favour, he is taken to win again. Concer Eto rates the main danger on his latest second behind Giocoso but he is a hold-up performer who will need plenty of luck in running and he does not look value at likely odds. Tuscarora is another worthy of respect. She won well last time when defeating Naughty Girl but this looks more competitive and she will find it hard under her penalty. Hills Of Gold is another that could go well. He was a good second behind Prairie Wolf last time and will appreciate the return to this trip but he has a bad draw and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder, Sharoura is from a yard in top form and is worth noting in the market but, in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum, for the winner we return to Neon Blue.
