Race preview

Fourth over the minimum trip here last month, SARAHMAE will take some beating if staying the extra furlong. A three-timer winner over 5f, the Denis Hogan-trained filly has yet to fully convince that she has the stamina required for further. However, her breeding suggests that the daughter of Magna Grecia is worth another chance to prove that she stays. A beaten favourite over course and distance earlier this month, Jon Riggens is fitted with a first-time visor now. If that headgear has the desired effect, the gelding will be very competitive. Gerrit's Gem is weighted to reverse recent form with Unique Journey.
