Genuine tempo from Woodstock Rock leading The Krone. WOODSTOCK ROCK (1) is easy to fancy on his form and is well set up again. He hasn't run a bad race to date and first up showed no signs of that diminishing by leading and drawing away. Up in the weights but going so well. UNCUT GEM (4) was a little plain last outing but good first up. She was thought good enough to contest black type races last campaign. RAVENITE (11) came from midfield to win last month. This is his best distance. AMBERINGER (8) has needed racing and might be ready now. This race will suit her more. ANDIRON (7) made up nice ground resuming. Does go her best at this very track. SUGGESTED PLAY: Woodstock Rock the best.
