STRATHMORE comes from a yard in form and is given the vote to land this seller, while both August Days and Brazilian Brush are more than capable on their day of being in the shake up. The selection finished second in back to back races back in the spring and although he has been disappointing of late connections have dropped him back in grade and if he can recapture his best he will take all the beating. August Days is relatively unexposed with only nine runs under her belt. She won a similar contest at Windsor last season but has failed to sparkle in two handicaps this year. However she is dropped in grade so cannot be totally dismissed. Brazilian Brush won a claimer last season but has again been disappointing in handicaps this year. Milton Bradley is starting to have a few winners of late after a poor twelve months so any market support should be noted. This is not the best of races and if anywhere near his best Strathmore will not be too far away.
