Good competitive end to a varied and entertaining card with several who can be given a chance to win the finale. SQUELCH is the only filly in the field and this will be her toughest test yet but we know she handles quick ground and looked to win with something left in the locker last time. Main danger French Asset still looks a work in progress, the blinkers may help him further after still looked raw at Windsor last time but he does have potential. A return to a better surface should help Al Khabeer regain his momentum on handicap debut with Hatheem another who should appreciate this test, he looks a typical handicap improver for the Johnston team.
