Expecting Nine Carats to take up the running with Melanin and Medal close at hand.
KINGS CASTLE (5) is a honest commodity who has hit the top-five in nine of his past ten starts and rarely puts in a poor one. Is one from one around this circuit and D'Avilla sticks following that last-start runner-up finish. Expected another bold showing. MEDAL (1) has placed two from three over this course and distance and is more than capable enough on his day. Rates highly on best figures. RELEASE LE MISSILE (3) is drawn to get a gun run in transit from the inside alley and will give backers a sight. The well-related PEROVIC (4) (half to 2xG1 winner King's Legacy) is a bit hit or miss but can feature if he brings his A-game. MELANIN (7) has placed in all six starts this campaign and may earn some minor money again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kings Castle to get back into the winners' stall.
