Verdict

Spritzin' was well beaten at huge prices in all two-year-old starts but steps up to a more suitable trip and like so many from his yard major improvement could be forthcoming. Krona completed an all-weather double in February and can't have been right when tailed off at Salisbury a couple of weeks ago. Cosmic View ran easily his best race to date over the track and trip last month and has to be respected from the same mark but CARRIGILLIHY gained his fourth victory on this track at this level in May and his two most recent visits have been in Class 3 handicaps.
