Verdict
LARGO BAY has won four times this year including over track and trip and failed to get a clear run before staying on for third back here last time. Mille Miglia placed over 1m3f here recently having won off a similar mark on Turf while Bluenose Belle steps up in trip after going close over a mile at Salisbury. Ward Castle and Sainte Colette ran well in novice company last time.
