Verdict
Daniel Cremin rode last year's winner but the veteran Stonecrabstomorrow is struggling at present. ANGINOLA arrives in better form having finished third over track and trip a week ago. She won a seller at the track last season and gets the nod ahead of Big City Boy, third here last time well ahead of Thomas Blossom. Arabian Flight has tumbled down the weights but has done all her winning so far on the all-weather tracks.
