          Verdict

          Participation, gets the confident vote in this claimer with Mister Maq and Tora Petcha rating the main dangers. The selection was a fair third behind Paraguay last time out in this grade. That form sets the standard in the context of this race and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat. Mister Maq rates the m,ain danger on his latest fourth behind Decree Nisi, this represents a drop in class and he should be watched in the market. Tora Petcha is another that could go well but he has yet to prove he stays this far. Of the remainder Sea Grain is from a shrewd yard and should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Participation to small stakes.
