      Verdict

      Godolphin has sent a strong team today and AMAZING SPEED looks the one to beat in the closing event. Rated 82 after a string of placed efforts, she can finally get off the mark in this company. Dinaria has also been in the mix of late but has 7lb to find with the selection on these terms while Tequila Slammer has little chance at the weights. Of the newcomers, Somethingthrilling and Master Zain are related to middle-distance winners but Seamus The Paver is out of a prolific mare and makes more appeal.
