    Verdict

    Gallimimus failed to land the odds on the all-weather when bidding for a hat-trick and can do better back on this surface if staying the longer trip. But GRAHAM just missed out over course and distance last time with a subsequent winner back in third and the Hannon charge can race off the same mark today. Afloat steps up in trip but is preferred to Quizlet.
