      Verdict

      This looks to a straight match-up between Polinamix and Cockatoo with the vote given to the first mentioned. The selection has won his last two races in emphatic style and with this fast ground and drop in trip very much in his favour he is taken to land the hat-trick. Cockatoo also won well last time out but the slight worry with him today is the trip as he is unproven over this far and for that reason he is narrowly passed over. Mr Wiseguy is an interesting newcomer from a yard that are starting to fire once again after a quiet spell so he is certainly worth a look in the market, as is the other newcomer Ohana. However, Polinamix does set a decent benchmark for the rest here and if he runs up to his best he will be hard to beat.
