        Verdict

        Erra Go On, Bessemer and Climate are three against the field in this competitive claimer and the narrow vote is given to Erra Go On. The selection has been outclassed of late in handicaps but returns to claiming company off what looks a fair mark and from a good draw he looks the one to be on. Bessemer rates the main danger on his latest third behind The London Gang but he will do well to win from his wide berth over this trip. Climate is another worthy of respect on his latest third behind Shrine Mountain in a seller but this looks more competitive and his overall profile leaves him with a little to find. Sovereignty is another with place claims but he will need plenty of luck in running while Wahoo Sam is best when allowed to dominate and as he looks sure to be taken on for the lead he looks opposable. With all this in mind we believe Erra Go On should take plenty of beating.
