Verdict

Nordwind has hit a rich vein of form and can gain a fourth victory of the season at the expense of Wedding Cake and Michabo. The Peter Harris trained three-year-old is steadily rising up the weights but could still be progressing as his career didn't start until May. He took the step up to twelve furlongs in his stride last time and should have no problems with today's trip or ground. Michabo was also running over a mile and a half last time and did well to get within a length of the in form Jack Of Trumps, another bold run is expected. Wedding Cake landed an all-weather maiden last time and would have been difficult for the handicapper to assess, so check for any market moves on this one. All in all a tough contest to predict, but Nordwind looks the best prospect.
