        Verdict

        QUITE SMART didn't appear to enjoy the Polytrack last time but she has form here and on good to soft ground so a better run is anticipated and Bob Cowell's filly can give the weight away to easy Brighton winner Fujiano, though the latter may be open to further improvement. Special Code and Honcho would have each-way claims on their best form and appeal more than Lackaday and Justice First of the others.
