Strong pace with Heyington Station, Bittersweet Pluck and Preferral pushing forward, closely attended by Scorched Land and Sole Heir.
BURDEKIN (4) has been thereabouts in all three runs this campaign and looks to be building up to another victory. Gets in well at the weights with the claim and must be respected from the Cavanough barn. Only needs some luck from the wide draw to be featuring in the finish. DEEP BREATH (2) has hit the top-five in all four runs this campaign and will be ready to peak now. Rates a genuine top-three contender on best form. PREFERRAL (9) was too bad to be true at the latest effort but the form prior was full of merit. Worth another chance. SCORCHED LAND (3) disappointed supporters last time out when well in the betting but where there's smoke there's fire. Can bounce back. BITTERSWEET PLUCK (12) is a last-start victor who draws the inside alley. May earn some minor money. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 4,2,9,3.
