Solid tempo with Kamariya leading from Smudged and Ninjitzou. SMART SHAZZA (12) has placed two from three around this circuit and will be rock-hard fit for this. Gets Maloney on top to handle the wide draw and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. NINJITZOU (4) is one from one over this course and distance and is more than capable enough on his day. In the mix if he brings his A-game. The well-related WARNA (5) (half to G2 winner Count De Rupee) has a solid record over this seven-furlong journey and gets some weight relief with the claim. One for the exotics players. MANHATTAN'S (11) has been improving this campaign and that culminated with a solid win over this track and trip last time out. Don't discount lightly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 12,4,5,11.
