Verdict
Dusty Dazzler will be more at home over this trip having failed to stay on her last outing. She is a speedy filly and must go well, while Tamasuk may find the fast ground against him. Melrose Place will not mind the fast conditions but, she has it all to do with Magic Piper on their running at Brighton. Richard Hannon's colt had Melrose place four lengths behind that day and can meet his rival on 4lb better terms in this and although he probably lacks the scope of some of his rivals, he is taken to lose his maiden tag.
