        Verdict

        Safqa gets the confident vote in this handicap with Storm On The Run and Zennerman rating the main dangers. The selection won with a little in hand last time out when beating O'Tara and although having a penalty for that win he looks a progressive type and under conditions that suit he is taken to score. Storm On The Run rates the main danger on his latest second behind Ebnert but he will do well to give weight and a beating to the unexposed selection.Zonnerman is another that could go well on his latest third behind Stonehaug but he continues to rise in the weights without winning and is opposable on that basis. North Walk is another with place claims on his best form but he has given the impression of late he will be suited by a longer trip and is passed over for that reason. Of the remainder Airbuss looks sure to run his race but he looks weighted up to his best and with this in mind for the winner we return to the unexposed Safqa.
