Maal has won eight races including a bumper but he's never won on this surface and has been climbing the weights without winning. Rose Angel has shown a bit of promise here though her best form has come on a soft surface. Elusive Award and Stoichkhov were close up behind Victor's Beach here a month ago and both have the form to take a hand, especially the latter, who had Lord Kenmare behind here in March and the latter has a long absence to overcome. CALIFORNIA ROSE has been unplaced in three starts here but they were her first three runs and she's been performing well enough in better company on Turf to concede weight all round.
