        Verdict

        A tough race to call her for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the main protagonists look to be Maid To Believe,Duty Free and Seeking The Buck and the narrow vote is given to Maid To Believe. The selection well last time out when beating Tebee and although having a penalty for that win she looks progressive and is taken to defy the handicaper under conditions that suit. Duty Free rates the main danger on his latest second behind Alleviate . He will appreciate the return to this shorter trip and with his yard continuing in good form he should be watcghed in the market. Seeking The Buck is game and consistent and is sure to run his race but he often finds less than expected off the bridle. Fourteenth looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achived while Starry Messenger won well last time but will need to improve again to win off this higher mark and for the winner we return to Maid To Belive.
