        Verdict

        A small but competitive field goes to post for this nursery with many in form rivals in opposition including Perfect Distance,Baylaw Star and Obe Bold and we will take a chance on Perfect Distance. The colt from the Brian Meehan yard won well last time out on the AW when defeating Emaradia. He looks to be on a fair mark for his return to turf and a reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Baylaw Star rates the main danger he won well over course and distance when defeating Sahara Silk and has definite place claims but he may struggle under his penalty. Obe Bold is another worthy of respect he was a fair third behind Stealthelimelight last time out and that form has since been franked. Of the remainder Ali's Oasis is another course and distance that looks to be on a handy mark so is worth noting in the market especially as he has the best of the draw but we are happy to stick with the in form Perfect Distance.
