          Verdict

          Plenty of these have claims in a competitive contest including Krugerrand, Blue Bajan and I Have Dreamed but the vote goes to Bold Act. The selection has a progressive profile and may be ready for this step up in trip now having been doing all of his best work late on last time when winning over a mile. Robustian is a consistent performer and is again entitled to be thereabouts, while Dance Partner could be of interest if fit enough for his reappearance. Krugerrand has solid claims on the form shown at Windsor two starts ago but disappointed last time, while Blue Bajan may be a shade high in the weights now. I Have Dreamed is another to consider and is probably better than his latest effort at Windsor would suggest but Bold Act has solid claims and he gets the vote.
