Minhaaj has yet to win over this 6f trip in 14 previous attempts and Glamorous Force is another to have done all his winning so far over the minimum trip. Porfin has yet to win on Turf so a speculative vote goes to SECRET HANDSHEIKH, who was winning off much higher marks last season. Rosequiano placed here last month but failed to beat a rival earlier in the week while Sapphire's Moon was due to race here yesterday.
