Boughtforasong has had her last six outings here and is still improving though she keeps on being raised in the ratings without winning. Our Manekineko is definitely on the upgrade and followed a decent effort at Kempton with his best run to date behind Seussical here last month. Desiderata, who finished mid-division, never got into the race but can do much better. Elusive Spring is only moderate but makes her handicap bow from a fair mark and should go close but NEOPHILIA, who was noted staying on nicely from the rear on her return to action over 6f here, is given the nod with her stable in outstanding form.
