Verdict
Colts have had the upper hand in this recently, though Last Bid should put up a good fight for the fillies. She was second in a Listed event at York last time with Gusto a further two lengths behind. The latter's stablemate Redact went close in the Weatherbys Super Sprint at Newbury and will appreciate the return to 6f, while the unbeaten Gold City is worth trying at this level after landing the odds at Nottingham last time. MISTER MUSICMASTER is one of the more exposed types but he won on soft ground at Sandown in July and is holding his form well. Rod Millman's colt could go close at a big price today. On The Dark Side has been keeping good company and could also figure if acting on the surface.
