Verdict

Efistorm registered a hat-trick on the turf earlier this year and has to come into the reckoning as he scored at this track back in April, but ROMAN STRAIT is given another chance here. He's gone very close on his last two starts, including one over C&D last month, and looks sure to be winning soon. Diapason bounced back to form with a close-up third here last time and Blown It wasn't far away when fourth at this track a week ago. Rohlindi makes most appeal of the remainder on his handicap debut.
