Verdict

CUBAN GREY produced his best effort yet for current connections when second over 5f here 11 days ago and now looks weighted to strike. Layoftheland is an unexposed 3-y-o with the potential to do better, while My Girl Sioux is pretty consistent in her grade.

  1. CUBAN GREY
  2. LAYOFTHELAND (IRE)
  3. MY GIRL SIOUX (IRE)
