In an open race, MIDNIGHT MAESTRO just edges the vote after a very solid effort here last time out. There's little between him and Verdana Blue on their fifth and sixth to Elgin here last time out and that looks strong form. With that run expected to put him that bit straighter, he can go close under Barry Geraghty. Peter The Mayo Man has plenty of weight to carry but has the physique for it, and if his new yard have him ready first time up, can go close. Speredek just keeps racking up the wins and the others can't allow him too much rope.
