      Verdict

      Celerity looks to have little chance racing from 12lb out of the handicap while Erissimus Maximus isn’t really firing, though is eased in grade again. Marietta Robusti is a course and distance winner who goes well on the soft. She is back on a winning mark but SHOW PALACE, seeking a fourth course victory, is probably even better handicapped and always needs a run or two to reach his peak. Autumn Flight is still paying the price for a couple of victories last year and needs bottomless ground to be effective at this trip.
