This may have attracted a big field but it won’t take much winning. Gerolamo Cardano did finish second over track and trip last season on soft going but BLENDED STEALTH will almost certainly appreciate this return to a longer trip having not been able to match strides with money-spinner Aggagio over 2m here three weeks ago. Sindabella keeps finding one too good but has place claims again while any market support for Keplerian should be noted.
