Strong tempo expected with Forms Of Fear, Crown Waters and Galaxy General prominent. STRUCK GOLD (6) brings a string of placings to peak. Didn't have best best of it when plainer last time, and he's back in grade. Keeps the top hoop, and this is winnable. GALAXY GENERAL (4) resumes and is up to this if presented forward. Should have the early speed to clear the awkward gate, and the betting will be key. Stablemate GLOBAL WONDER (7) mixes the form, but his win here in a 64, two back, stacks right up. Has the inside barrier and has been kept on the fresh side. BRAZEN BON (5) has been heading in the right direction and found one better last time in the Struck Gold race at 76 level. Maps well, and a 4x winning rider stays aboard. SUGGESTED PLAY: With Struck Gold.
