Verdict

Another tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading fancies but the principals look to be Diamond Josh, Polar Dawn, and Geisha Lady and the tentative vote goes to Diamond Josh. The selection was a fair third behind Marajuana last time out, this extra furlong should suit and under similar conditions here he will be hard to beat.Polar Dawn rates the main danger on his latest short head second behind Evanesce he is sure to improve and will not be far away. Geisha Lady is another worthy of respect she was a fair third behind Bridge T'The Stars last time but she gave the impression she would be suited by a longer trip and for that reason she is opposed. Sant Jordi was a fair third on his debut behind Afrashad and is sure to have learnt from the experience so he is worth noting in the market. Of the remainder Sweet Coincidence is from a yard that is doing well with it's Two-year-olds and is another that could go well but in a race that throws up more questions than answers for the winner we return to Diamond Josh.
