Verdict
Specific Gravity was awarded the race by the stewards having been impeded close home when passing the post in second over 1m4f last time. He should confirm running with Nulife while Pass The Ball was placed here on a couple of occasions before disappointing over track and trip last time. LADY ARGENTUM finished in front of Lizard Point when runner-up over course and distance on her first start since July. She should be sharper for that and Tom Gibney’s mare is taken to go one better today.
