        Verdict

        Sweetest Revenge Saviours Spirit and Perfect Story look the three to concentrate on here and the vote is given to Sweetest Revenge. The selection has won his last two races in good style and won with a little in hand last time out. Granted she has a penalty for that win he looks a progressive type and he is taken to defy the handicapper. Saviours Spirit rates the main danger on his best form but he disappointed for no apparent reason last time so can not be put forward with any confidence Perfect story was a fair third behind Kindle Light Debut last time and is another that could go well but he is hard to win with. Of the remainder the booking of Hammer Of The Gods catches the eye and he should be noted in the market but for the winner we return to Sweetest Revenge who is in the form of her life.
