Verdict
Libys Dream had Ryedane and Istiqdaam behind when scoring over 6f here last time, but it might be a different story over today's extra furlong as the latter won twice on the turf over this trip in August. Silver Wind is weighted to reverse recent C&D form with Berbice and the last named was engaged to run here yesterday, while Trojan Rocket is 5lb higher than his win over track and trip last month. However, RESTLESS BAY is worth another try over the distance in an open race having scored over 6f here recently and he gets the nod.
