In depth
Verdict
Another difficult race for punters may go the way of Seejay, with Go Green, Tropical Son and Woolstone Boy others worth a mention. Seejay had not shown much at all until recently when collared close home here by Zeloso seven days ago. The switch back up to 12 furlongs seemes to have helped, and if she puts in a similar performance, Jeff Pearce's filly must go close. Go Green had a recent spill over hurdles and makes her debut on the Polytrack today. She had winning form at a minor level on Turf and should not be ruled out of calcualtions. Tropical Son's only victory to date was over 10 furlongs here in January off a mark of 40, and he has to improve some to repeat the feat, while Woolstone Boy is only lightly raced but the dam was a triple sprint winner in the US, so he will be expected to pay his way in time. Not an event to get too heavily involved in, and just a small wager is suggested on Seejay.
