On paper this has the look of a match between Serenity Now and CLIFFSIDE PARK and the vote just goes to the latter. Despite being worse off at the weights than if this were a handicap, he is a proven recent winner, handles conditions and sees out this trip well enough. Serenity Now has been knocking on the door just lately and is clearly a danger. Minstrel Royal would have a squeak if he can produce his best, though he has a little to prove after his latest run.
