        Verdict

        Areyoutalkingtome looks to be the answer here with Orchard Supreme and Vortex the others to consider. The selection loves it on this track and he made it back-to-back wins when getting the better of Orchard Supreme here last time. That rival has an obvious chance of reversing the placings today but our selection won going away that day and was good value for the winning margin. Vortex also finished behind our selection last time and there is no denying that he is well-treated on the pick of his form. However, he will find life tough from his wide draw and that may stop him from getting his head in front. Tamagin does have a good draw and is another to consider, but Areyoutalkingtome is on the upgrade and should be tough to beat.
