Spanish Verse and Mercenary will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. TRIP TO CAMELOT (5) finished in the frame last time, beaten 2.25 lengths at Kenilworth over 1600m. Kept coming to finish runner-up in tougher company fresh. Fitter and expected to go close. MERCENARY (4) is a five-start maiden who has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 1600m at this track. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Placed 2/3 at the trip and only try this course and distance. Should be right in the finish. SPANISH VERSE (8) is building towards his maiden success, the latest effort a solid second over 1800m at Kenilworth, beaten 2 lengths. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is a major player. MASTERONTHEMOON (7) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished fifth at Kenilworth over 1200m, beaten 4 lengths. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.
