Verdict
SONNY G went close off today's mark over a mile here on Wednesday. That run will have blown any cobwebs away and this shorter trip is no problem as he's already a C&D winner. John Best's colt is preferred to Pha Mai Blue who has the past form to figure but has been way below his best so far this year. Cwmni has yet to show she stays this trip but Trade Centre is on a winning mark if he can summon a return to form. Bubbly Bellini is another to consider on the pick of his previous efforts.
