Verdict
Verinco has little chance at the weights but likes to race prominently and should ensure a decent pace in this disappointingly small field. Tax Free hasn't won since 2009 and never looked like getting the better of Singeur over C&D last time. The latter is open to further improvement this year but so is TROPICAL TREAT, who is making her seasonal reappearance today. A Listed winner last season, her close-up sixth in a Group 2 sprint at Goodwood was an even better effort and Ralph Beckett's filly can take this having gone well fresh before.
