Small field but Valley Prince, Mi Mijo and Future Dreams can ensure a genuine tempo. MI MIJO (2) ran a good race fresh up for third here just over a fortnight ago and will improve with that run under his belt. This field is not strong and he should be hard to hold out this time. VALLEY PRINCE (1) is heading toward another win after a last-start second placing in the same grade on this track 15 days ago. The step up to a mile will suit him better than most and he can go one better. FUTURE DREAMS (3) was fourth in the same race as the third pick last time out and with the aid of the pole position, he can figure in the top 3 this time. Each way value. FILTHY RICH (5) ran his best race in some time when dropping back into this grade last time out. An extra furlong may help him and he is worth including in all combinations. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mi Mijo to win.
