        Verdict

        A few of these are old rivals and there is not much between them on bits and pieces of their form. However, Active Account is still open to a little bit more improvement than most of his rivals and is given a slender vote of confidence over Danielles Lad, Quiet Reading and Thunderclap, whose form seems to have reached a plateau after all posted good efforts since the turn of the year. In contrast, Summer Shades starts the season on a much lower rating that her turf form would allow and she could easily sneak into a place if she is ready to do herself justice after 258 days out of action. However, Active Account may have the fitness edge on her today and he looks to be a safer option here. Heather Dalton's charge has taken well to this surface and has shaped as if his turn is not too far away after finishing second in his last two starts - the last of which gives him solid claims in the context of this race. Therefore, the seven-year-old is expected to finally gain that elusive first win of his career in a race that appears to be his for the taking if he runs up to his best.
