Verdict
Dazzler Holland comes in for another plum ride in our final event on board Mr Velocity, who is chosen to beat Millagros and Summer Shades. Ed Vaughn's gelding bounced back to winning ways with an impressive defeat of Juste Pour L'Amour at Epsom last time. The winning margin was only half a length, but the selection was always in control and may have had a little in reserve. Today's event is no stronger and a follow up victory should be gained. Millagros was successful at Ayr on soft ground the time before last, and if the rains come she would be a major threat to all. In contrast Summer Shades prefers a firm surface as she showed when landing a Nottingham contest back in July, with conditions in her favour at the moment she could be the main danger to the selection. Honest Injun has been knocking on the door recently and may prove best of the others, but Mr Velocity looks to be still on a winning mark and gets the vote.
