|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong pace with Yoda's Choice pushing forward along with Gallant Epoch from an outside gate. ETALON OR (3) has been racing well without much luck from a couple of tough gates recently, he cops another tricky draw, but is edging closer to that first win and only needs the gaps to appear at the right time, to be the one to beat in this. GALLANT EPOCH (2) likes to race on the pace and is likely to push forward again, despite having a wide draw. He had no answer for the winner here 2 weeks ago and gets another crack over a mile. Stick with him, can win. HAPPY UNIVERSE (8) has raced his way back into form in his last couple of starts and kept up a strong gallop to the line when finishing second here a fortnight ago. Hard to beat again. FORTUNE BOY (9) won a trial before running on late to finish sixth here last start. He will probably settle well off the pace early on and will be ridden for luck. The tempo is likely to be solid enough in this race, and he has sound top 3 claims again.
