Verdict
Not Just Any Eagle was having only his second start here when beaten a short-head over 1m2f three weeks ago and has gone well over this trip on Turf. Breagagh was having his 41st start last week and is still a maiden as is Uberrima Fides, who was beaten a short-head over track and trip a fortnight ago. Sky Legend has not won in 16 starts but has been running well here while BRAVE THOUGHT stepped up to the trip for the first time last month and made Fairyhill Princess, who won again next time, pull out the stops. Luke Comer‘s lightly-raced filly is one of the few here with scope and can go one better though Flier is getting closer to losing his maiden tag.
