||||
---|---|---|---|---|
Just a small field but King Of Queen, Specmagic and Mayor Of Merrivale can ensure the pace is genuine. KING OF QUEEN (1) is well overdue a winning turn having finished second in his last six starts. He raced from a handy position over 1400m last time and fought hard all the way to the line. He is drawn in pole position and may be rewarded for consistency. SPECMAGIC (2) was unlucky not to have won his last start over 1400m on the turf as he was badly checked with 1100m to run. Rates well as a leading chance. POTENT CAPTAIN (5) showed good improvement in his last start over this course and distance. He raced from a handy position and stayed on well to finish second. If confirming his recent improvement, he can finish in the placings. MAGIC PRINCE (4) resumes from a short spell following a last start fourth over 1200m. Include in combinations.
