        never better than mid-division

        In depth

        Verdict

        It is not often that Paul Cole has a runner in an all-weather seller so Circus Polka has to be respected in this contest, however we will take a chance with Kevin Ryan's El Coto, Namibian Pink is another worthy of respect. El Coto's last success came in a claimer at Hamilton back in August. He has been running well since in similar company and handicaps and should be capable of going close in this grade. Circus Polka comes out best here on official ratings, despite running poorly so far this season. He hit form this time last year and so he has to be rated a big danger. Namibian Pink is from a yard that has to be respected in this grade and she has shown plenty of ability in three better races. Local Poet and Middleton Grey are two others in with a squeak on their best form, but we return to El Coto as the more likely winner.
