City For Conquest gets a tentative vote over Give Me The Night and Dream Factor. City For Conquest has already paid to follow in her first season, and indeed was successful over the course and distance in May. Having worn a visor in the past, she was fitted with blinkers for the first time when just touched at Beverley on her latest start, and is taken to crack out and make all this time. Give Me The Night has ben highly tried since winning at Hamilton in July and is taken to give the selection most to do along with Dream Factor who is back up to a more suitable trip now after staying on over five furlongs in a Folkestone nursery last time. The market should be noted as regards the rest, including course and distance winner Smart Cassie, but we are happy to side with City For Conquest.
