        Verdict

        Pace Shot gets a confident vote here ahead of Ganymede and River Gypsy. Gary Moore has done well with his all-weather runners this season and Pace Shot, following a successful spell over hurdles, can add to his tally. The four-year-old also boasts excellent form on the flat, including a third placing over course and distance back in August. A repeat of that effort should be good enough in this company. Ganymede does have a similar level of form as our selection and has gone very close to losing his maiden tag in the past. Once again he should be in the firing line. River Gypsy returned from a three month break to finish a close up fourth behind Stage Manager here last month. He should improve for that outing and looks each-way material. Dubai Ace and Fantastic Promise are two others with place claims, but our idea of the winner is Pace Shot.
