Verdict
GLADIATRIX been running well without success this season and just failed to catch Gabbiano at Ascot last week. A similar effort should see Rod Millman's filly come out best in this as collateral form gives her the beating of Tagula Night, a close second at Kempton recently. Swendab looks a bigger threat having failed by only a short-head with Frankie on board over track and trip last time. Howyadoingnotsobad has gone back up the weights after a couple of placed efforts and may have missed his chance while Griffin Point is facing a tougher task upped in class today.
