Verdict
Mark Johnston has had his string in good form for some time now and barring an upset that should continue in this maiden where his CAPACITY is given the verdict leaving Public Service and Almuntaser fighting it out for the minors. The selection held his form well with out really improving on his second start last time out but that was in a much better race and only slight improvement here would have him well in front of his rivals. Public Service has also only really held his average form in two starts but Brian Meehan's colt should also prosper better at this level having been well held in a warm looking contest on his latest run. Almuntaser improved for a drop into the selling ranks on his second outing last time and while he looks to have plenty to find to beat the pick with his yard in such good form of late he shouldn't be dismissed completely. Flipping was slid on debut and is entitled to improve but this race does look set up for Capacity to take the honours.
