      Verdict

      EVER SO MUCH is hard to catch right but is effective in this grade when he decides to put his best foot forward and this stiff track might play to his strengths. Orioninverness is from a yard that has had a few winners lately and he did win at Perth around this time last year following a break, though is still 7lb higher. Reverse The Charge has done most of his winning around here but he is another who is high enough in the handicap at present and none of the others make much appeal on recent form.
