Midsummer Storm has been given a lenient-looking opening mark for a lightly raced filly with a good pedigree for connections who know how to place their horses, and she should come on for the experience of her latest run when just tiring over a longer trip. Roaring Ralph has won five of his last six and runs off the same mark here — the danger is obvious though the uphill nature of this finish may not suit ideally. Tattie Bogle was just touched off last time off this same mark and Coolree has previously won here on fast ground; both are genuine threats. Midsummer Storm is our selection.
This could become a battle for early track position and I think that may play into the hands of THIS FARH. He won here two starts ago off a mark of 72 and although he\'s 3lb higher now, he looks a progressive horse this season. The Karl Burke runner is an interesting handicap debutant after costing 550,000gns, but at around 5/1 and with three places available, I\'ll take a chance on This Farh.
