Verdict
Tender Moments, Ela Aleka Mou and Abbey Road look the three to concentrate on in this trappy affair and the vote is given to Tender Moments. The selection overcame a poor start to win well on her debut when beating Spritza and with improvement likely he is taken to win again with this faster surface also likely to be in her favour. Ela Aleka Mou rates the main danger as he also won well on his debut when beating Folio, he is another that is sure to improve and should be closely watched in the market with his yard continuing in good form. Abbey Road was a good second on his debut behind Frisky Talk but he gave the impression on that occasion that he would be suited by a longer trip and for that reason he is opposed. Of the remainder Precocious Star also won well last time out but this represents a step up in class and for the winner we return to Tender Moments who is taken to win this before going on to better things.[
