        Verdict

        Alleged Slave, Red Brae and Dick The Taxi look the three to concentrate on in another open affair and the tentative vote goes to Red Brae. The selection won well last time out when defeating Kitmat and although he is rising in the weight he will be hard to beat under conditions that suit. Alleged Slave rates the main danger he was a fair second behind Renvyle last time but he continues to rise in the weights without winning and again he may find one or two to good. Dick The Taxi is another that could go well he has dropped to a fair mark and ran as if returning to form when second behind Terek last time. Spring Dawn is another on a handy mark and was a fair third behind Indigo Jones last time but he remains a maiden and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Topol is from a top yard and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Red Brae.
