Going - Good to Soft (Good in places). 

Formscan  - Cueros boasts an attractive, unexposed profile and will likely have his supporters in the finale, while Afadil is a C&D winner and Mr Mcloughlan has won three of his last four starts. CITY OF DIAMONDS gets the nod, but is only a lukewarm selection. He's another unexposed quantity and his handicap debut success over track and trip was quite taking.
