Verdict

Not a race to linger too long over and POSITIVITY is picked ahead of Liberty Trail and Carnival Dream. Granted, Bryan Smart's charge has regressed somewhat since a juvenile campaign but she has at least shown an aptitude for the surface and could go off at a decent price. Liberty Trail has a major chance on figures. Whether he acts on the surface is another matter entirely. Carnival Dream ran up to her best in a plating contest at Newcastle and is likely to race prominently again. Arjemis kept on to be a fair second in a weak Newcastle handicap. Catchpenny is noted in the market on debut whilst Our Girl Ally is exposed as moderate. Positivity is selected.
