Verdict

An open-looking sprint in which it could pay to take a chance on LIKEDBYMIKE, who shaped better than the distance beaten suggested on return here earlier in the month and with that form working out well, she can double her tally returned to the minimum trip. Last year's winner Cuban Grey is an obvious threat having bounced back to his best last time, with Shadow of The Moon a potential improver now handicapping, too.
