Verdict

INDEPENDENT EXPERT comes here in very good form, landing a C&D claimer on her penultimate start prior to finishing a good third in similar company over 1m 3 weeks ago. She makes plenty of appeal again on these favourable terms and earns the vote. Venetian can provide the chief threat, ahead of Earthwatch.
