Genuine tempo from Meet George leading Solidude. Tricky race to kick off the card with a few of these at the races for the first time. Of the raced brigade LEVERAGED BUYOUT (7) wasn't too far off a pretty smart one at Newcastle on debut and is sure to have derived a stack of benefit from that race day experience. Rates the testing material. SOLIDUDE (9) has hit the top-four in all three starts to date and looks to be knocking on the door of a maiden victory. Top-three candidate. MEET GEORGE (3) has placed in both outings this preparation and will be ready for the step-up in trip now. In the mix. NOTTINGTON PRINCE (1) is the most experienced runner in the field and can feature from the favourable draw. ARTISTIC ENDEAVOUR (2) best of the rest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leveraged Buyout to break the maiden status.
