          Verdict

          Lancer is a tough performer on his day and is hard to ignore in this grade. However, he is becoming expensive to follow and is not one to become too heavily involved with, especially at this trip. That said, an alternative selection is not easy to pin down and the speculative shortlist includes Established, Henry Island and Urgent Swift, who may prove best of the rest.
