Verdict

SUN FESTIVAL finished in front of Black Smoke when going close over track and trip last time behind Come On John. Caracristi wasn’t far behind Start Of St Louis when fourth here recently but Swing To The Stars looks to be treading water off her current mark. My Roxanne won over a shorter trip at Newcastle and carries 6lb extra.
