GOING: G(4)

CONGRATULATIONS WHAT A PRINCE HORSE OF 23/24 HANDICAP 1120m

Track: GOOD 4   Rain (Max: 25)   Rail: Out 6m Entire.  

Gorgeous Gus and Fascination to take up the running at a decent tempo. MOCHA DREAM (1) resumes for a leading barn and performs fresh. Has won 2/2 this course/distance and owns a sharp Lark Hill trial. CJP is reunited and he'll be hard to beat. SPIRIT MAN (2) has disappointed his last two runs but the form prior stacks right up. Finally has a low barrier and an improved effort is anticipated. PURE DYNAMITE (6) peaks off the narrow defeat here and he's likely got more to offer. He will get every chance from the good draw. GORGEOUS GUS (3) is third-up and finds easier grade. Uses the rail and he should be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Mocha Dream.
