Verdict

Another running of this race that has drawn a good field of mares and should produce a competitive contest. Snow Leopardess sets a good standard after her Newbury especially as that form has been franked since and she should have the beating again of those that finished behind her in that race. Indian Stream and MIDNIGHT TOUR are closely matched on their Festival running and the latter is weighted to come out on top here. Of the lower weights Carnspindle along with Mariah’s Legend who should be suited by this test are of interest.
  1. Midnight Tour
  2. Carnspindle
  3. Snow Leopardess
