Verdict

Circle Of Trust led early when scoring on soft going here in June, while Runninsonofagun made all over a mile at the track last month and has placed in both subsequent starts. However, a strong pace should set the race up nicely for YAASER. He finished a highly-creditable third at Hamilton a week ago, considering he was very slowly away, and this looks a good opportunity for Jim Goldie's four-time course winner to take advantage of his potentially lenient mark.
