        Verdict

        Another wide open affair here with many in form rivals in opposition including Nearly A Fool, Galloway Mac, and Xaloc Bay and the vote goes to Nearly A Fool. The six-year-old has been in good form of late and was a good second behind Hazewind last time out off this mark. A reproduction of that effort would make him hard to beat. Galloway Mac rates the main danger he won well last time when defeating Kustom Kit For Her and although this looks tougher he is fairly unexposed and has plenty of scope for improvement. Xaloc Bay is another that could go well he was a fair third behind Best Before last time over a mile and is sure to be suited by the drop in trip. Simply The Guest has won his last two races in good style but they have come over a mile and he may not have enough toe for this shorter trip. Of the remainder Stoic Leader has dropped to a fair mark and is worth noting in the market but for the winner we return to Nearly A Fool.
