Verdict
This is anybody's race. Dishy Guru is upped in class after winning over 5f here and Spellmaker may not have finished improving yet having won five times already this year. O'Gorman went close at Windsor last time when ahead of Dominate and Arctic Lynx has the past form to figure. So does AL'S MEMORY, who wasn't beaten far over track and trip last month and should be bang there at the finish with a similar effort. Marjong is back on a winning mark but Dissent now looks in the handicappers grip.
