Verdict

This gives a chance to Dick McCarthy, who goes well on fast ground and also handles this track. Course and distance winner Mabel's Memory, still looks plenty high enough in the handicap, while Percolator may find this fast ground far from ideal. The maiden Night Fever, should be capable of a bold show, without being quite good enough to win.
