Verdict
It’s likely ABRUZZO MIA (NAP) will improve further as he was having his first outing since February when scoring over track and trip last month. Yoshimi placed here recently while Showtime Mahomes won at Musselburgh and is unexposed on the all-weather. Power of Darkness won over a longer trip at Salisbury while Verona Star and Al Baahy are others to consider.
