Verdict
Not the strongest of races, but in Photo Flash, we have a filly who has already shown she can handle this course, when she came up against the in-form Joint Statement here last month. That form is as good as any of her rivals and she is taken to add to her solitary win at Brighton. Miss Damask has enjoyed a good season, but she doesn't appear as good on turf as she is on the All-Weather, while a similar comment also applies to Summer Shades.
