        Verdict

        SARASOTA SUNSHINE, Evna and Minturno look the principals here, with top weight Sarasota Sunshine taken to prove too hot for the opposition. Having been tried over a mile, Richard Fahey brought Evna back to the minimum trip for her third start and she obliged at a big price on the all-weather. She was readily outpaced in a moderate contest recently however and is opposed, despite hailing from a bang in form yard. Minturno is thoroughly consistent and only 3lbs higher for a recent success, but he is unproven on the ground and is also taken on. Sarasota Sunshine won successive races before finding the useful Rafta too good at Nottingham. That was no disgrace, and although yet to win on ground this testing, she has run well on it. Sarasota Sunshine can light up this contest.
