Moderate tempo with Snitzond leading the way. The well-related FOR BETTER (9) (full to G1 winner Port Lockroy) is a former Victorian who has placed in all three starts to date before joining the new stable. Should find this a touch easier than what she faced down south and is drawn perfectly in gate two. Will be right there when the whips are cracking. TURN THE CORNER (2) also hails from a handy family (half to G1 winner Royal Merchant) and will be ready to peak now fourth-up from the break. Rates a serious threat. MAJOR LOOK (1) is having his first run for the new yard and a watch on betting is advised. HAPPY WINS (10) is facing the starter for the first time but is sure to be up to the mark from the Neasham/Archibald barn. Keep safe. RUNAWAY TYCOON (7) strips fitter second-up and has some claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: For Better to break through.
