        Verdict

        Rancho Cucamonga,Speed Dial Harry and Colonel Bilko look the three to concentrate on in this claimer and the confident vote is given to Rancho Cucamonga. The selection was a good fourth in a handicap behind Superstitious last time and although the drop in trip is a slight worry she looks well in on official BHB ratings and will be hard to beat. Speed Dial Harry rates the main danger on his best form but he was slightly disappointing behind Lady Algarhoud in a similar event last time so can not be put forward with any confidence. Colonel Bilko is another worthy of respect as he was a never nearer third behind Lady Algarhoud last time . However he ran as if in need of a longer triop on that occasion so the drop in distance looks against him. Kristinor is another that is dropping in grade and hails from a shrewd yard so is another to note in the market. The remainder have shown very little of late and are readily opposed and for the winner we return to Rancho Cucamonga.
