      Verdict

      Dark Company is 0-12 on Turf but has won off much higher marks on the all-weather. FAR FROM A RUBY won off a 5lb higher mark over course and distance last August and will be happier back on this surface after three runs on Tapeta this year. Cosa Sara is still 6lb higher than when landing this 12 months ago but Jim Goldie’s mare does run her best races here.
