      Verdict

      Methodical is impossible to oppose here with Symbiosis and A Double Ewe Bee rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when beating Papeete and although the drop in trip is a slight worry she is hard to oppose under conditions that suit. Symbiosis rates the main danger on her latest sixth behind Castlecrossings but even that leaves her with plenty to find with the selection. A Double Ewe has been well beaten in sellers before while Diktatit has shown little of late and for the inner we return to Methodical who need only put in a clear round to score.
