Verdict

VALADERO has gone close over the minimum trip in both starts to date. He should stay this extra distance and the faster going may also help his cause. Asadna is a brother to a 5f winner and half-brother to a winner over today’s longer trip while Jesmond Dawn is a brother to a couple of winners. Strong Request is also related to winning sprinters and is preferred to Fifty Grand Slater and Sergeant Mayer.

Asadna (IRE) Mehmas colt out of Looks Great.

Fifty Grand Slater (IRE) Kodiac colt out of Natheer.
