        Verdict

        LEYTE GULF has probably never been in better form and we think that the gelding can go in for the third time in five starts ahead of the potentially well treated but disappointing Little Richard and Augustus John also makes the list after some near misses. Two course and distance successes have added to the pick's record here which now boosts a 50% strike rate. He was better value than the bare distance suggests for his win last time and his three pound mark rise looks fair. Little Richard receives weight from all of his rivals here and remains a pound lighter than when last scoring. He's running well at the moment but it is a little disappointing he hasn't taken advantage of his falling mark. Augustus John has been on an improving run of form lately including finding just the one too good over course and distance the last twice. He is still racing off a mark just a pound higher than when last getting on top so there's no reason why he won't run his race again. Paint The Town Red looks the only other considered under a fair burden but Leyte Gulf is on form and is worth sticking with.
