Verdict
Like Sugar has won twice on Polytrack but her form on Turf is less impressive. Star Ascending is only 1-26 on this surface but Silvestre De Sousa rides for a yard that’s in good form. Le Bayou is 0-17 but PUCKLE won twice at Beverley last year and he’s been knocking on the door again this season. She has her ground today and this is her trip so first-time cheekpieces could help her get her head back in front. Volcano Bay was a consistent sort in this grade last summer but might need this.
