        Verdict

        Sahool gets the confident vote with Selebela and Polar Jem rating the main dangers. The selection was a good second behind Pongee last time out and need only reproduce that effort to score. Selebela rates the main danger on her latest second behind Beneventa but this looks more competitive and she is overlooked on this occasion. Polar Jem was a fair third behind King Of Dreams last time but that was in a handicap and she will find this listed race tougher. Of the remainder Light Wind is improving with each race but is another stepping up in grade and for the winner we return to Sahool.
