Verdict
Revolutionise has raced exclusively on artificial surfaces this year though the handicapper does give him a helping hand by massively dropping his Turf mark in the interim. The market will guide but CUBANISTA won well at Yarmouth and while that was on a softer surface, Pam Sly’s gelding had done enough in previous efforts to suggest the going will not present a problem. Mick Appleby found a victory from Bondi Girl where other trainers had not so a move for her is entirely plausible while Ring of Light placed off today’s mark at Newmarket and there was some interest for him on that occasion. Yoshimi may improve on a second start for Michael Herrington.
