Gift Of Oratory should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. EASY TURN (9) ran a respectable race first up in BM64 grade at a distance short of his best and then improved up in trip and down in grade last time out. It looks the right build up for a race of this class and trip at his third run for the prep. GIFT OF ORATORY (2) is also third-up and continued the consistent formlines of last preparation with two minor placings and looks sure to be around the mark again, despite the potentially tricky barrier. THIN RED LINE (4) is a dour type who has been crying out for this trip. ELOPED (10) was good winning last start, but in easier grade than this and will need everything to go right from the wide alley. SUGGESTED PLAY: Easy Turn to win.
