Verdict

Take Cover's winning run came to an end in the Nunthorpe Stakes last time and he finished behind fourth Moviesta that day. Bryan Smart's sprinter has a big chance in this on that form but endured a rough passage in the Sprint Cup at Haydock next time and finished last. Justice Day shouldn't be far away and Hay Chewed has the past form to figure. Justineo could also play a part but Dinkum Diamond has rather lost his way lately. MECCA'S ANGEL showed blinding speed to win a shade cosily at Doncaster 10 days ago when Online Alexander never figured. Michael Dods' filly can take the step up in grade here in her stride with the going likely to be too fast for last month's Curragh winner Scream Blue Murder.
