        Verdict

        Eye For The Girls is the obvious one from a handicapping perspective as he's been contesting better races with credit and drops to a mark of 52 for the first time since gaining his sole success. The concern is he's never raced over the minimum and even a stiff five furlongs may be too sharp, so we'll take a chance instead on ALMATY EXPRESS. Kelly Harrison returns for the ride aboard our selection who has in truth struggled since winning over six here in June. As a result though he's dropped back to a mark of 50 and with lack of both pace and in-form horses lining up he could make all. Tournedos is next on the list, arriving as he does with a similar profile to Almaty Express. Both are thrown-in on their best and the top-weight has shown a liking for this course and distance recently. Cayman Fox has won only once and finished last on her most recent start while Monsieur Harvey is a seven race maiden who needs to improve to figure even in this weak affair.
