Verdict

GOLD ENIGMA (2) just missed last time out over the 1m trip at this track and the slight rise in trip is a big tick. She closed beautifully there to just miss and this shapes similarly. Racing well and can get the job done this time around. BATISTA (3) disappointed last start after a good effort two starts aback over 7f. Right out in trip now is a big tick and Fiore hops aboard having ridden him to victory previously. Creates plenty of interest. MUST BE NICE (1) has been racing well at Belmont recently, though tackled stronger company last start where he was just outclassed. Back to this level is a big tick for him however and a sharp return to form is on the cards. SUBTLE POWER (5) SUBTLE POWER (5) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing eighth at this track over 7f. Likely improver who should be thereabouts. METALIC MARLIN (6) can feature third-up.
