Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a genuine tempo. VALEDICTORIAN (8) is having his first run for the Sandhu yard having placed in all three runs this time in for Michael Freedman. He's a well-bred colt who has been firmly in the market of late and rates highly. Can get off the mark. ANIMAL (1) resumes for his second campaign. Two runs last time in showed good ability, in the market in a strong race on debut, odds-on next time out. With a spell under the belt he can resume a winner. RHYTHM AND RUSE (6) is a colt by Zoustar on debut for the Ciaron Maher yard. He represents strong connections and has won a jumpout leading in. Drawn the inside, he should take plenty of beating. SHE'S OURVALENTINE (12) is a filly by Pierata on debut for the Hayes yard who has been jumping out quite well. Expecting a good run from the low gate. ROYAL HONOUR (7) is a Blue Point colt on debut who can run well on his home deck. SUGGESTED PLAY: Valedictorian to win.
