Verdict

Hard to go past the fit, in-form ELECTRIC ELVIS (2) who was well backed here last time out and proved far too strong sitting on a genuine tempo, coming away to score by 2.75 lengths. He'd been well backed in town prior too and with any luck from out wide he'll go close again. Into a very short quote now but it doesn't look unfair - he should win. MASTER OF THE AIR (6) resumes, now with the Bedggood stable (formerly Chris Waller). He was contesting strong 3yo races last time in and keep a close on the betting for the sharp yard. INVISIBLE MAGIC (15) and CINDY FALLS (12) were both beaten convincingly by Electric Elvis at their past start but have place claims.
