        Verdict

        In the opener, Swords is selected ahead of Pass The Port and Tromp. Pass The Port is on a winning mark; Desert Leader is on a fair mark if taking to this new trip, although he is not guaranteed to stay it on breeding; Captain Margaret needs to put a couple of poor runs behind him; Williams Way is unproven at the trip; Tromp has place claims but has yet to prove that he can win from today's mark; Special Moment put in a best-yet run last time, but that came on Turf on soft going, which is in keeping with his pedigree; Inch Lodge has won over course and distance but connections aren't sure if this is his best trip and he is closely weighted with Eidas and Swords based on that form. The latter was staying on strongly that day and, even though he has been beaten since, that came over a longer trip. He might provide the answer to today's race and, accordingly, gets the vote.
