        In depth

        Verdict

        Folio has been frustrating to follow of late but this looks a good opportunity for him and he is preferred to Bright Sun and Little Jimbob. The selection has finished second on each of his last three starts but he lost no caste in defeat behind Winners Delight at Windsor last time when he was just collared on the line, and if he runs up to that level here he should prove too strong. Bright Sun is a course and distance winner and he could prove hard to peg back if he is allowed to dominate and given an easy lead. Little Jimbob ran respectably behind Trouble Mountain last time and this drop in trip will boost his claims. Active Asset may also make the frame if he doesn't find this trip a little on the sharp side. A fascinating race this but we think Folio is worth another chance and he gets the vote.
