    Verdict

    Arctic is a genuine Group class sprinter when there is plenty of give in the ground and if the rain arrives there could only be one winner but he's failed in the past on quick ground and might have to give best to LOOK BUSY. A multiple Group and Listed winner for Alan Berry, the mare gained her first success for Patrick Prendergast at Cork a couple of weeks ago when Partner was well beaten and, now back to form, can take this. Both of Blue Dahlia's victories have been gained on soft going and she's another who needs the heavens to open while Calm Bay, though consistent enough, rarely wins and has something to find.
