        Verdict

        In this Conditions Stakes race, we give the vote to Turnkey ahead of Dramaticus and Nufoos. First of all, a return to the level of form that saw Dramaticus finish a fair seventh in the Middle Park Stakes last season would give him leading claims, although you will have to forgive him his final effort last season. Galeota ended last season with a fair run in the Mill Reef Stakes but, overall, has a few pounds of improvement to find to win. It could happen, while Turnkey is another to consider as he performed with credit at Group 2 and 3 level last season and should develop into a decent three-year-old. Gifted Gamble probably has to find a little improvement on his juvenile form also, but he is certainly bred for speed, while Nufoos holds a big chance based on her Group 3 second at Ayr and her second in the Rockingham Stakes. Her stable is in good form too. It all adds up to a good race, in which we will give the vote to Turnkey.
