Verdict

No surprise to see Seaborough drop back in trip as he appeared not to get home here the last day over further. A good effort is expected but NYALA has been picking up place money in similar contests and hasn't been beaten at all far the last twice on quick ground. She is a narrow preference. Dorcas appears best watched as she appears to have gone off the boil and Political Slot is required to prove she's as effective on turf as on the all-weather. Turquoise Bay hasn't shown much in four starts but could well improve now sent handicapping.
