Verdict

Lastofthemohicans was highly tried in his first campaign but hasn't been seen since well behind in the Beresford Stakes won by St Nicholas Abbey and Johnny Murtagh deserts him for Dearest Girl, who has run well enough in two 1m4f maidens to suggest she will find a race soon. Behtarini has also struggled over 1m4f this term and hasn't recaptured last season's form but Master Performer has run with credit over this trip and should get involved. Jim Bolger introduces a nicely bred filly in the shape of VITA VENTURI, who looks just the type for this. A daughter of Galileo out of a winning mare, she is related to some high-class performers and an entry in the Group 3 Meld Stakes next week suggests better things are expected.
