Cayman Breeze is potentially well handicapped on his turf form and can take this from Mythical Charm, Latin Express and Stagnite. The selection has trip and conditions to suit here, having won three times over seven furlongs on fast ground in 2005, plus a course and distance win last year. He runs off the same mark of 52 as when close over six furlongs here last time and he has won off a 7lb higher mark on turf, so looks capable of taking this. Mythical Charm has been in good order in banded events here of late and drops back in trip now, but whether she will have the speed to cope here is doubtful. Latin Express has struggled since his two-year-old days to the extent that no one knows what his best trip and conditions really are, while Stagnite goes on the surface but is surely better over six furlongs. But Cayman Breeze looks like proving the best in a poor contest.
