Verdict

WESTERN SYMPHONY, a winner on Dirt here in November, never got close enough to mount a challenge on Turf last week but was staying on very strongly and can go one better. Fast-Uno, a dual winner on Dirt in Uruguay, led for a long way on his first start on Turf here a fortnight ago and will have come on for the run while The Attorney won four times in the UK though makes his debut on the surface. Island Rule was beaten a long way in a Grade 2 over a mile three weeks ago but is better judged on his previous run when scoring over course and distance though he's held by Raaeb on previous form.
