    Verdict

    In race five, Para Siempre is selected ahead of Jord and Cherri Fosfate. Connections have to run Para Siempre quickly as he won so well last time, albeit in a seller. He could be that he is on a fair mark having improved for the fitting of blinkers. Jord's form is solid enough and he gets respect, while another recent claiming winner, Cherri Fosfate is entitled to respect following that cosy success. Finally, Diminuto's winning run came to an end last time but, being at the right end of the weights, she cannot be ruled out of a good run. That said, Para Siempre is the one for us.
