Verdict
Chimali gets the confident vote with Saviours Spirit and St Austell rating the main dangers. The selection won well last time out when defeating Indian Steppes and although he is rising in the weights and dropping in trip he won with a little in hand and is taken to go in again from what looks a good draw. Saviours Spirit rates the main danger on his latest third behind Cherokee Nation but his best form of late has been over a longer trip and for that reason he is passed over. St Austell is another worthy of respect as he is game and consistent but he is becoming hard to win with. Of the remainder Mynd is from a shrewd yard and has dropped to a handy mark so is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to the in form Chimali.
