Verdict

Joseph O'Brien has won the last two runnings of this nursery and ZOOM ZOOM BABE makes most appeal of his two runners here and looks the type to improve for the switch to handicaps. Simply True comes here at the top of his game having won on soft ground on Monday and looks the principal threat. The short list is completed by Dark Voyager.
