Verdict

Press Gang and Houlton have strong claims and their respective trainers have engaged top talent to partner their charges, but SINGING THE BLUES has been a revelation this year and lost nothing in defeat last time when tackling 2m for the first time. This intermediate trip looks right up his street and he is taken to score at the expense of The Pinto Kid who has had relatively little racing and had a lot more in hand than the official margin suggested last time. Grandscape has been on the upgrade, but his best efforts have come on turf and he will need to be at his best to defy his present mark.
