Verdict
A couple stand out on latest running with last week’s runner-up Le Reveur expected to figure again over this extra furlong. But BERKSHIRE PHILLY was beaten only a neck over course and distance on her return to action and Andrew Balding’s filly looks capable of scoring off her current mark on that evidence. Dakota Moon and Libretti may both improve now handicapping while Elpheba has placed over shorter trips on several occasions and should stay this far.
