Verdict
Up until recently Moyne Pleasure had saved his best for the All-Weather surface, but he has struck form with a vengeance and cannot be left out of calculations despite his penalty. Cote Soleil seems to have lost his way, while Basinet has yet to convince over this trip. The main danger could come from Ballyhurry, who should finish closer to Moyne Pleasure on these terms, while Gifted Flame will be more at home in this company after tackling some decent maidens of late.
