        Verdict

        Viva Volta, Rainbow Fox and Dakota Rain are three against the field in another tough race to call for punters and the vote is given to Viva Volta. The selection won well last time out when beating Violent Velocity. Granted that was over a longer trip but he showed plenty of pace on that occasion and under similar conditions here he is taken to win again. Rainbow Fox rates the main danger on his latest third behind Compton Classic. He gets all the weight for age allowances and with his yard continuing in good form he should be watched in the market. Dakota Rain has been in good form of late but he ran as if the handicapper had caught up with him last time when disappointing for no apparent reason and he is taken on with this in mind. Angaric is another from a yard in form and he has dropped to a handy mark but he has been done no favours by the draw. Of the remainder Charles Parnell is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but Viva Volta won well last time and he is taken to win again.
