      Verdict

      Balkan Knight, Art Eyes and Camrose look the three to concentrate on in this conditions race and the vote is given to Balkan Knight. The selection was a good second behind Distinction last time out, that form has since been franked and under conditions that suit he need only run up to that mark to score. Art Eyes rates the main danger on his latest fourth behind Tungsten Strike he is sure to to fitter here and with his yard in better form he should be noted in the market. Camrose is another worthy of respect on his latest second behind Tartouche but all his best form is on a softer surface and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Swing Wing would be a danger to all if fit after a 660 day absence but Balkan Knight is fit and in form and gets the vote.
