Verdict
Sendinpost, Bavarica and Fondness are three against the field in a wide open finale and the narrow vote is given to Sendinpost. The selection was a fair second behind Turner's Touch last time out, that form has since been franked and off the same mark here, he looks the one to be on. Bavarica rates the main danger on his latest second behind Odessa Star but he is rising in the weights without winning and is taken on with this in mind. Fondness looks well weighted, and with his yard in form should be noted in the market. Beldon Hill won well last time out when beating Credential but this looks tougher and he may struggle under his penalty. Of the remainder, Symbol Of Peace looks weighted up to his best and with this in mind for the winner we return to Sendinpost to small stakes.
