Verdict

Carlitos Spirit wasn't beaten far in an amateurs' race a week ago and could figure, but preference is for SMART VIOLETTA at the other end of the weights. She also went close when runner-up over a longer trip at Ayr last week and is only 2lb higher than July's win over C&D. Lucayan Dancer landed an amateurs' event on fast ground at Beverley last month but recent Newcastle runner-up Piper's Song makes more appeal. Broughtons Silk ran better at Musselburgh on Tuesday and could prove best of the rest.
