Hawridge Sensation can follow up his recent course and distance success at the expense of Crystal Magic and Balerno. The selection had done nothing special prior to landing that handicap. He gets in here on a very decent weight and looks set to make it back to back victories. Crystal Mystic is probably better over six furlongs but can still be given a chance on his course victory back in June. Balerno is not the most consistent of performers but has a chance on official ratings, and any rain would certainly help his cause. Ruby's Dream has a chance if staying this new trip and may prove best of the remainder, however Hawridge Sensation could now have the confidence to run up a sequence and gets the vote.
