Verdict
Cyclamen has been racing in maidens and had every chance at this trip before finding 1m4f stretching her stamina last week. Musical Rhapsody showed little on Turf but landed a gamble on her debut over the track and trip three weeks ago and has only been raised 5lb. Cold Steel was also racing here for the first time when scoring over 1m4f last week where he overcame trouble in-running but Sheer Chance steps up in trip after coming with a late run to snatch the spoils over a mile three weeks ago. RICCARDI MEDICI had been threatening to win for some time before doing so over 1m4f last month. He's up 7lb but looks progressive and can complete a double.
