Tricky. FLY FUTURA, MASTER OF PARIS, RADICCHIO, MY BESTIE and ALL ABOUT RONNIE (in that order) clashed over this course and distance on 26 May in a race won by Nevada King. A mere 2.60 lengths separated 2nd from 6th and there shouldn't be much between them again on these revised terms. It could, however, pay to side with well-related STEINBECK who caught the eye when running on from a long way back to finish 2nd over 1400m on his return from a 5-month absence. He would've tightened up with the benefit of that outing and this extended trip should be more to his liking.
