Many of these have the speed to be prominent but is likely Chestnut Bomber can take up the running at a strong tempo. CORRUPT (5) ran on strongly after a slow start when winning on debut over 1160m on this course. He is the stable choice Gavin Lerena in the saddle. He has the scope to win again immediately. CIRCUS LIGHTS (4) lasted long enough when winning his last start over 1450m here on the Inside course. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He is in a good space and merits healthy respect. GUARDIA REGINE (3) has finished fourth in his last couple of starts. He takes a slight drop in class and will be mowing down the frontrunners. He can have the last say this time. SPRING TRADITION (2) is better than his post-maiden effort here over this trip. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He has plenty of ability and can show improvement. Each way value.
