Verdict
A moderate maiden but Arbitrageur would have a chance as good as any if converting his recent run behind Maude Adams on soft ground at Galway to Polytrack. Curia Regis was a nose behind Free Spin over the C&D a month ago and the latter can come out on top again but Massini's Trap is having his first start on Polytrack. It will be interesting to see how he copes after a poor effort when strongly fancied at Ballinrobe while Spirituality also let supporters down last time but gets another chance here though RIGOLETTA should be winning soon and though her best form to date has been over 6f her astute trainer wouldn't have brought her back to a mile if he didn't think she was capable of producing the goods.
