Rockfish is going from strength-to-strength and battled on strongly to beat Just Sherry narrowly over the course and distance last week. The runner-up has yet to win but has a slight pull at the weights and can reverse the form. However, A FEW BOB SHORT, who finished third, was making his handicap debut and didn't find a gap until the race was over. He's on the same very lowly mark and looks worth an interest here. Art Of America is another making a quick reappearance after a very good run over 7f at Fairyhouse on Thursday though he's taking a big step up in trip. Cache Queen had run well behind Rockfish in April and has a big pull in the weights though she's making her debut on Turf.
