Verdict
Moonmeister has been gradually stepping up in trip and could be even better over tonight's distance after staying on strongly to beat Elusive Laurence over 1m2f. MINOT STREET has won four of his last six and it looks a shrewd move to run him in this conditions race rather than a handicap so he can continue his winning ways under the excellent Tom Madden. Cebuano last won a race over this track and trip a year ago though looked on the way back over shorter last month but It's over three years since Denny Crane last won a race. Sharjah has been in good form and though beaten almost 3l by Minot Street last week he was conceding 9lb and with a pull in the weights has to be considered.
