      Verdict

      George Moore's Activist looks to be in a different league to his five rivals here and is impossible to oppose. A 70 rated flat performer, the son of Diesis made a pleasing return to hurdling when making all for a facile success at Perth last month. A reproduction of that effort should be enough for the TEAMtalk selection. San Peire has shown a modicum of ability but the best bet for the forecast looks to be the Nicky Richards-trained Whitaside, who finished second to Latensaani at Sedgefield on his only outing so far.
