Verdict

Geojimali,Lake Garda, Circuit Dancer and Ellens Academy are a handful against the field in a wide open affair and the vote is given to Geojimali. The selection won well last time out when beating Flying Edge, that form looks rock solid and despite his penalty he will be hard to beat under similar conditions. Lake Garda rates the main danger on his latest third behind Mr Wolf but all his best form is on a faster surface so he would not want any more rain. Circuit Dancer is another that could go well on his latest second behind Fukllanby but he has been done no favours by the draw. Ellens Academy, is another with place claims on his best form but he looks weighted up to his best. Aahgowangowan is in the form of her life and is another that could go well but her best form is when allowed to dominate and as that does not look likely she looks worth taking on and in a race where stakes should be kept to a minimum for the winner we return to Geojimali.
