Verdict
The vote goes to Bongoali who steps down in grade to this claiming company for the first time after running well in two maidens. The selection has been out classed on both occasions but in this company poses a real threat and with the yard in such solid form should come up trumps today. Of her rivals Toldo ran well in selling grade last time out at a big price and could be an improver so is one to watch out for in the market. Tonight has similar form and could easily finish in the first three on this rain softened ground and also Dane¿s Gold has the odd bit of form on testing ground so should be noted in the market. But for the winner we return to Bongoali.
