Verdict

QUEEN SARABI (NAP) wasn’t far off winning here last May and returned a year later to lose her maiden tag over the trip on fast ground. She’s just 3lb higher and can complete a double. Chetan has won a dozen races including from much higher marks but has been here eight times and never scored. Ringo Starlight’s two victories have been on the all-weather while River Chorus is 0-19 though she’s dropped to her lowest-ever mark. Sly Madam gained a surprise victory over the track and trip but reverted to type on a return visit while Red Bravo has never fulfilled early promise.
