        Verdict

        Alina Rheinberg, Diplomatic Daisy and Rockys Girl are three against the field in a wide-open finale and the narrow vote is given to Alina Rheinberg, The selection enters handicaps off what looks a fair mark and under conditions that suit looks the one to be on. Diplomatic Daisy is another that could go well on his latest third behind Tabora but he has had plenty of chances off similar marks without taking them and is taken on with this in mind. Rockys Girl is another that could go well but she remains a maiden after 27 runs so cannot be put forward with any confidence. Of the remainder Luna Eclipse looks on a handy mark and could go well at a price but in a trappy affair for the winner we return to Alina Rheinberg to small stakes.
