        Verdict

        Tropics finished in front of Fast Track when fourth at Kempton last month and both went on to finish second on their latest starts at Newcastle and at this venue respectively. The former is preferred over today’s trip but CORONATION DAY (NAP) makes most appeal. She was surrounded by much higher rated horses when beaten less than a length in a conditions race at Kempton last time and a repeat effort should see her bang there at the finish. Both Seeking Magic and Reflektor won on the Turf during the summer but have looked high enough in the weights since.
