Verdict

EUTROPIA continues at the top of her game and can notch a fourth win of the season for the Adrian Wintle yard. Hurricane Laughter showed plenty despite not really getting to grips with the track at Newmarket last time and remains open to improvement, with Penfolds Grange also on the shortlist.

  1. EUTROPIA
  2. HURRICANE LAUGHTER
  3. PENFOLDS GRANGE
