Solid tempo with Zourata, Forms Of Fear and Patriotic King going hard, closely attended by Crown Waters. Hard to go past PATRIOTIC KING (6) who has won three of his last four. Great record here, great record with Todd on top and drops 6kg on a last start win. 1200m suits better but will be tough to stop over this journey with the nice weight. FORMS OF FEAR (4) is the clear danger. Returned from a spell with an impressive win and also drops in the weights. Fitter and expected to go close again. CROWN WATERS (5) resumed from a break when game in defeat behind Forms Of Fear, finishing second. No weight relief on the winner but has a strong second-up record. ZOURATA (2) is a talented galloper resuming and goes well fresh. Sure to be primed to run well. BON'S PRIDE (1) is another fresh and has placed 3/5 starts when resuming. Can run a bold race. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Patriotic King.
