Reasonable tempo with Political Debate probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. VICTORY WIN (5) is racing in great order winning three of his past four starts including a solid Doomben victory at the latest outing. Gets Williams on top from the favourable draw and should be going very close again. DEMON DARB (9) has put two wins together on the bounce and is racing with a lot of confidence of late. Winning rider Wheeler stays in the stirrups and can make his presence felt. RISING PACIFIC (1) goes well here on his home circuit with three wins and three placings from just eight attempts. Genuine top-three credentials on recent form. FLEUR DU MONDE (6) strips fitter third-up from the spell and is improving with racing this time in. Hard to discount from the Waller yard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Victory Win to live up to his name again.
