Back to the main Dirt track for this with a strong ante-post favourite in Catalina Cruiser. But though unbeaten in four starts, he’s yet to meet opponents of this calibre and it may prove difficult taking up his usual prominent racing position from a wide draw. City Of Light is a dual Grade 1 winner over 7f but stays the mile and was disadvantaged by having to race wide when runner-up at Saratoga last time. SEEKING THE SOUL (NAP) is another winner at the highest level when successful over 1m1f here at this time last year. He also beat last year’s third Awesome Slew and Giant Expectations when landing a prep-race for this over track and trip in September and looks to have a leading chance on that form. Firenze Fire has won a couple of Grade 3 races this year and beat Seven Trumpets on both occasions but the rest are harder to recommend.
