Aguerooo drops in class but carries a double penalty for his recent wins on the Polytrack and was well beaten on his only previous start at this venue. Underdressed went close in a maiden race over 7f here in November but will find this tougher while Putemintheboot was well beaten off today's higher mark having won over track and trip before that. But SARABI (NAP) beat Sea Of Uncertainty when producing a late surge to win over 5f here a fortnight ago and Scott Dixon's filly looks capable of making another bold bid over this extra distance.
