Verdict
CAPTAIN CAT returned to form on his all-weather debut over track and trip. He can go in again confirming superiority with George Guru and the subsequent winner, Maverik, in the process. Dixie's Dream is also open to further progress having won here three weeks ago but is upped in class for this, while better is expected from course and distance winner String Theory after a couple of below par efforts on the Turf. Emerald Wilderness is perfectly at home in this grade and could go well with a recent run under his belt.
