Going - Good, good to firm in places (Good after R1). Overcast and showery

Formscan By Alan Magee - BACK DOWN UNDER has gained both previous wins at this venue and appears versatile in terms of ground conditions. She scored over 7f on a sound surface last summer and made a successful reappearance this term over 6f on soft, with Tai Tam Bay about two lengths back in third. There should be little to choose between Brigid’s Cloak, Island Girl and Miracle Beauty who finished close together in the places behind the impressive Unique Journey at Naas last month. Staysound Susie enters calculations on her close third to Tawaazon over a similar trip at Naas last time, while Saturn Seven and Ethical Code are others to consider.
