Verdict
Disappointingly just the three runners line up for this conditions race and while Suzy Wong has proven herself on a softish surface, she needs to improve to get the better of CAFE ELEKTRIC and Roman Eagle, with preference for the former. The selection represents the in-form yard of Sir Mark Prescott, comes into this having won two of his three outings so far and should not be inconvenienced by the cut in the ground being by Pivotal. The Michael Jarvis-trained Roman Eagle is meeting Cafe Elektric on better terms than he would do if this was a handicap but he is less likely to handle the surface than the selection so may have to settle for minor honours.
