    Verdict

    The filly Libbard holds Starcrossed on the form book but she's beginning to look a little one-paced and has become expensive to follow. Burmese has also cost backers plenty in his last two runs so we'll take on the three-year-olds with the older IFTIRAAQ. Though he wears a hood and cheekpieces, Seamus Durack's gelding has been running well in handicaps this summer and deserves a change of luck. Lake Shore Drive appears to be improving with experience but has some catching up to do to figure in this grade.
