Verdict
Rough Rock, Amazing Day and Miss Willoughby form the shortlist in this seller and we will nominate Rough Rock to lead them home. The selection finished in mid-division in a better race than this last time and with his yard in sparkling form with their two-year-olds at present, we think he can get his head in front. Amazing Day can be forgiven his last effort as he was forced out of the race when his saddle slipped, and he had previously beaten Rio Taffeta. That rival boosted the form by winning last week so he should give our selection plenty to think about today. Miss Willoughby was very disappointing last time but her only career win did come here, although that was on soft ground. Tomba Maestro was well beaten on his debut but he hails from a yard in top form so could be worth a look in the market. However, Rough Rock has plenty in his favour and he gets the vote.
