Verdict
Zumaaty has yet to win in 16 attempts so far though went close at Hamilton recently with Breckland and Ayr Poet behind. The latter had finished ahead of Golden Valour when beaten only a neck here earlier but ENGLES ROCK drops down a couple of grades for this and, having won over track and trip on a couple of occasions already this year, Lucinda Russell’s charge gets the vote. On The River has place claims and looks best of the rest.
