Verdict

CHANDIGAH (2) brings strong credentials after a convincing win over this trip at Group 2 level here, and his overall record at the course and distance makes him the one to beat again. DEVASTE (1) had support when chasing home a smart winner over 6f here on the inside course at Group 2 level, and a repeat of that effort brings him right into contention. DREAM OUT LOUD (3) was dominant last start with a big margin win over 6f here on the inside course, continuing a strong campaign, and he has the pace and consistency to be a key factor once more. GRAND CITY HALL (6) hasn't fired in his last couple but has shown enough in the past to be competitive when things fall his way, and this looks like a race where he can improve and figure in the top 4.
