Verdict

Unquestionably the best race on the card and in which SOLDIER IN ACTION gets the vote. It may be significant that Adam Kirby, who rode Al Hamdany on his latest start, switches to the Mark Johnston-trained runner this evening and even without that information, the five-year-old has some very solid form and acts at the track. Celestial Spheres has it to prove on the surface, but if he goes on it then he would be feared, while Mount Tahan and Diodorus are others with claims in a good contest.
