Verdict

MISS BOOM (6) was poised to strike when resuming but just lacked a fitness edge late. Is sure to have come on from that and can go a couple better this time. GRINZINGER GOLD (4) was much better here last start when beaten less than a length over this trip. Has been kept fresh with 33 days in between and gets in well again at the weights with the claimer sticking. Main danger. MITHRAS (7) was a flashing light here last time when doing her best work late over this journey. If Milnes can settle her closer this time, she will prove tough to hold out. ALABAMA AWARD (1) struggles to put repeat performances together but has peaks that can measure up. Is another that gets in well with the claim and is worth keeping in mind.
