Official ratings suggest Biltmore should win this but he looks to have gone backwards after a couple of fine runs on very fast ground. Chernish has run well in nurseries here and at the Curragh so looks like being thereabouts though she was 3l behind EMILY GRACE (NAP) when the latter finished runner-up here last time and Michael Grassick's filly looks the more progressive. She looked a certain winner when going a couple of lengths clear and though unable to resist Dancing Mountain also had Rest Bay well behind. Man Of The Sea has been beaten in similar contests the last twice but still looks best of the remainder.
