MARMOT BAY never looked like beating Sofi's Spirit when fourth at Lingfield last week but finished just ahead of Hardy Red and gets the tentative vote in this similar contest. She also has the beating of Imperial Spirit on collateral form while Bix has a chance on official ratings but arrives in woeful form. Don Eduardo has been placed in selling races of late and It's Only Business showed a bit more last time but has plenty on his plate in this company.
