PAYMENT IN KIND sets the bar pretty high for a race like this and should take a bit of stopping. The drop to 6f isn't necessarily an obvious move for Eminent Jewel given that she was nearest at the finish on her 7f course debut but she shaped promisingly and still looks the one likely to chase the selection home.
