Verdict

COMMANCHE FALLS has had eight starts without winning since landing the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood last year but he's been placed in major handicaps and Group company and will take some beating providing the ground doesn't come up heavy. Ano Syra, who won the premier handicap on the card a year ago, is a very consistent performer at this level and ran another fine race when runner-up in a Cork Listed race last time but Mooneista's three victories have all been over the minimum trip. Twilight Jet has been racing at a higher level since landing a Naas Group 3 last May while Wodao looks best of the three-year-olds.
