    Verdict

    Ike Quebec gets the vote here with Copperbottomed and Ateophobia rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair second in a better race behind Gross Prophet last time out, form that looks rock solid in the context of this race and off what looks a fair mark he will be hard to beat. Copperbottomed rates the main danger on his best form but he was well beaten in similar grade behind Shepard's Warning last time out and is taken on with this in mind. Atephobia is another that could go well but he is best when allowed to dominate and as he looks sure to be taken on for the lead and he is taken on with this in mind. This is a poor affair and stakes should be kept to a minimum but Ike Quebec sets a fair standard and is hard to oppose.
