Verdict
Dolly McQueen has been well beaten on Polytrack either side of winning a poor maiden over track and trip and has something to prove off her current mark. Fayetta debuts on the surface still looking for her first success after 18 attempts while Grandscape was beaten 11 lengths when runner-up over a longer trip here. But SOCIOLOGIST has been hinting at a return to winning ways with a string of placed efforts and he gets the vote dropping down a grade today for Scott Dixon’s track-based yard. Elegant Love and Visor have bits of form if taking to the surface.
