        Verdict

        A wide-open contest rounds off the card with very little to choose between the leading players, but the principles look to be Spitting Image, Super Fellow, Oops and Hearthstead Dream and the vote is given to Spitting Image. The selection won well last time out when defeating Claradotnet and although he has a penalty for that win the first two had pulled well clear of the rest, and with conditions again in his favour he should take plenty of beating. Super Fellow has won his last two races in good style and is obviously on the upgrade but this is his toughest task to date off his highest mark so he may be worth taking on at the likely odds. Oops was behind Super Fellow last time but is better off at the weights and he should get much closer here. Hearthstead Dream was a fair third last time behind Hezaam and that form has since been franked, but his best form is on fast ground and for that reason he is passed over. Trilemma is from a shrewd yard and is stepping up in trip so is worth noting in the market, but Spitting Image is in good form and looks the one they all have to beat.
