Verdict

Looks another rematch between BRIDAL WALTZ (7) and POINT BARROW (2) who fought out the finish of the G3 How Now Stakes over this route last start. Bridal Waltz was backed off the map to start $1.85 there and there was criticism of the ride which allowed Point Barrow to get into the race and level up inside the 1f mark. The early market can barely split them this time but Bridal Waltz is the one who will be in front for most of the way and Point Barrow will always need luck so we'll fancy the tables to turn. NAIFAH (4) resumes. She went through the grades nicely last time in with a G3 and a Listed win. She should measure up well. PHOTOGRAPH (12) has minor claims off latest. TOMATO TOASTIE (13) will want a bit further but can stick on for a placing.
