    Verdict

    Air Of Esteem can return to winning ways here at the expense of Lady At Leisure and Flite Of Araby. This son of Forzando hasn't won for almost a year but has shown signs of a form revival recently. He ran over course and distance last time and finished just three lengths behind Susiedil. He would have got a lot closer with a decent break, and if he gets off on terms today he will be hard to beat. Lady At Leisure finished ahead of the selection in that contest, but did get the run of the race. She is in good form at present and should be involved in the finish again. Flite Of Araby finished third in a claimer over the seven furlong trip here last time and play a part over this slightly longer distance. Kumakawa is also in decent form at present and is worthy of respect, however Air Of Esteem is overdue another victory and gets the vote
