        Verdict

        Violent Velocity, Flylowflylong and Dorn Dancer look the three to concentrate on in this handicap and the tentative vote is given to Violent Velocity. The selection won well last time out when beating Chatshow with plenty in hand and although higher in the weights he again has conditions to suit and he looks the one to be on. Flylowflylong rates the main danger on his best form but he often finds less than expected off the bridle and he is taken on with this in mind. Dorn Dancer is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he will need the brakes to come at the right times if he is to score. Of the remainder Walnut Grove is from a shrwed in form yard and could go well at a prie but he may need the run after a 230 day abscence while Wiltshire is in form but this is his tougest assignment to date and for the winner we return to Violent Velocity.
