MOONDIAL (NAP), a winner at Salisbury two runs ago, is still largely unexposed on Turf so gets the nod ahead of Coral Reef, who remains winless and is proving hard to catch right. Savannah Smiles also struggles for consistency with her sole victory to date coming on Polytrack. Phoenix Glow looks the pick of the remainder but may also be better on the all-weather.
