Sunstroke is selected to get the better of Elizabeth Garrett and Diminuto in a weak looking event. Sunstroke will no doubt prove a popular choice with the holiday crowd here, and the filly has has the form to oblige based on her win in similar company at Brighton last week. She has drawn the one box and has Tom Queally in the plate again, so the scene is set for a follow-up despite the drop in trip. Elizabeth Garrett has already been beaten at this level and it is hard to see where the improvement is going to come from, while Diminuto has not repeated her fair effort in a Southwell maiden back in April and is not one to trust, even at this lowly level. The market should be noted as regards the others, but we are happy to stick with Sunstroke.
