Verdict
The three-year-olds Nigiri and BREEGE come out best in this Listed contest. The former ran well in a Group 3 at Doncaster last time without troubling the winner but the latter is preferred on an earlier second in the Sandringham here in June and John Quinn’s filly gets the vote back on faster ground. Farhh To Shy, Cell Sa Beela and Queen Aminatu have plenty to find with the above pair though the latter’s stablemate Nine Tenths is less exposed and will be sharper for last month’s comeback run.
