Only a small field with Wolfburn likely to find a comfortable lead. BON'S YOUR BACK (6) is the local runner they have to beat, but he has plenty of stern opposition here. ATLANTIC OCEAN (5) kicks off for his new trainer, having transferred from the Chris Waller yard, and he might just be too classy in his new surrounds. CINQUE TORRI (4) makes plenty of appeal having moved across from the capable hands of Bjorn Baker, and his best would measure right up in this one. PINK PANTHER (8) is another relative newbie to the Territory and rarely runs a bad race. WOLFBURN (2) comes into this on the fresh side and has to carry weight, but can lead them on a merry dance out in front. SUGGESTED PLAY: Plenty of good chances here, so let's parcel up 6,5,4 into a boxed quinella.
