Good pace across the barriers and they will run along.
An open contest. KING OF JUDAH got Pike and won 3U as favourite jumping with them. Pike sticks so expect further upside. He should get a sweet run and take beating with the weight drop. INDOMINUS resumes and there was plenty to like about the first preparation. Draws out but could be the surprise packet. WANTED DESIRE gets back but hits the line and go on the strong effort two back. Always needs a good ride but has the ability. FOUR LETTER WORD won here FU matching his best. Expect him to push forward today and the rise in trip suits. FLOWER OF SCOTLAND resumes and brings good form from this venue. Has won twice fresh but the 3kg claimer needs to be at her best from this gate.
SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to King Of Judah.
