      Verdict

      A race lacking in quality and DAZZLING BEGUM is only a speculative choice to round off the meeting on a high note; Foxtrot Bravo and Free Falling are others with respectable form figures that can be given a chance on the pick of their efforts; although both have been expensive to follow lately. Support for Beaubrav would also have some foundation, although there has to be a suspicion that he might be better suited to the all-weather these days. Lombok is also one to be wary of as he is yet to show any kind of enthusiasm for racing this season. He looks especially unappealing under top weigh today. Therefore, with all things considered it can pay to side with Dazzling Begum, who knows how to win a race and, as he is arguably the most consistent individual on show; the mount of Stevie Donohoe gets the benefit of the doubt to lead them home in the finale.
