      Verdict

      Gods Token,Neveesou and Monte Cinto look the three to concentrate on here with the confident vote going to Gods Token. The selection won with plenty in hand last time out when beating Mister Mustard and although he has a penalty for that win he looks a progressive type and under similar conditions he is hard to oppose. rates the main danger as he has won his last two races in good style notably when beating Vaughan last trine out. However he looks to have enough weight for what he has actually archived on his first run in a handicap and for that reason is opposed. Monte Cinto is another that could go well on his best form but the suspicion is he may just need the run after a 343 day absence. Of the remainder Hawadeth would not be far away on his best form but all his best efforts have come in much bigger fields and for the winner we return to Gods Token.
