Verdict

No shortage of runners, but this is as moderate a contest as one would hope to witness. Finding the winner is something of a test of stamina rather than the speed which will be required over this fast five and a half furlongs. Cee Jay, Molly Jones and Catalinas Diamond have all demonstrated their liking for this track whilst Burauq was much better recently. However, the pin falls upon HURRICANE ALERT who met trouble in the run under a penalty here behind Kingstreet Lady when bidding to follow up a decisive Yarmouth victory.
  1. Hurricane Alert
  2. Catalinas Diamond
  3. Molly Jones
