Verdict
Motawaazy won this a year ago, one of four track victories, and isn't out of this despite poor form figures. But he finished behind Special Mayson when Pam Sly's charge was a close third on heavy going here two weeks ago and the latter, who has won over 7f here, should make a bold bid. WESTMORIAN (NAP) has only won on Tapeta but a close fourth in a big field in a much better race than this at York last summer would be good enough for this. Newyorkstateofmind is 1-30 on Turf while Gracelands Girl is still a maiden though she's been placed in seven of nine starts.
