Verdict

ARTHUR'S QUAY hinted at a revival on only his second start for the yard when a keeping-on third at Newcastle last month and, with that form working out well, he's taken to strike in this weaker event. Blue Hawaii ought to be on the premises again if reproducing her C&D second, while Limerick Leader has been running respectably of late and appeals as the type to make a chaser.
