Not much early pressure but Sungazer, Wings Of Destiny and Regimented can take up forward spots. SUNGAZER (5) only warmed late in his stable debut and found the line well. Strips fitter and has found an easier assignment. Can break through this time. REGIMENTED (4) found the line well on debut then improved last time when sent forward but just missed the bob as favourite. Peaking now and gets another good chance to shed the tag. WINGS OF DESTINY (12) three runs this campaign have each had merit despite being unable to shed her maiden tag. Should be nice and fit fourth up and goes into all multiples. STAR SERPENT (11) and CRIMSON WALTZ (7) look best of the rest at long odds and could fill a minor spot. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sungazer to win.
