      Verdict

      Sadler's Secret, Kiwi Babe and River Reine, are three against the field in a tight race to call for punters and we will take a chance on Kiwi Babe. The selection was not beaten far by Grey Brother on his last run that form looks rock solid in the context of this race. He remains on a fair mark and under conditions that suit he will be hard to beat.Sadler's Secret rates the main danger but he just gave the impression he was in the handicappers grip when fourth behind Penny Pictures and he will do well to give weight and a beating to the selection. River Reine is another that could go well on his latest fifth behind Cristophe but he has yet to win over hurdles and he is passed over on this occasion. Of the remainder Great Crusader has dropped to a handy mark and showed signs of a revival when fourth behind Carly's Quest last time so he is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Kiwi Babe.
