Curtiz never looked like catching the winner when second here and is fitted with blinkers. He still finish in front of Geography Teacher, who had beaten Badger Berry when scoring over track and trip earlier. Six Til Twelve’s earlier placed efforts at the track came over 6f but the less exposed SWEET ANGEL was beaten only a neck over course and distance last time and Ivan Furtado’s filly looks capable of opening her account today on that evidence.
