In depth
Verdict
Miracle Garden won over track and trip last month but a rise in the weights proved beyond him back here last time. KATELLI has been threatening to break his duck with better efforts at the track recently. A switch of stables and an apprentice’s 5lb allowance could make the difference today and he gets the nod. Dubai Elegance has gone off the boil this year while Aguerooo is a rare winner nowadays but Some Nightmare is worth a second glance on only his second start gelded.
