      Verdict

      Para Siempre is selected ahead of Popolo and Silver Hotspur. Para Siempre dotted up last time out and with this assignment not looking any tougher, we are prepared to back him for a quick follow up. Popolo has had a short absence but Michael Bell's horses are running a lot better than they were so it would be folly to dismiss this entrant so readily. Silver Hotspur returns to sprinting having patently failed to stay seven furlongs last time out. Pappas Image is sure to take them along at a furious pace while Suntan Lady has had plenty of chances and has failed to take them. Not a race that will take a lot of winning and Para Siempre looks to have best credentials of those to face the judge.
