Expecting What A Prince to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. HEAD'EM (3) tested the waters at 1500m last start and held his own, but coming back to this trip looks a big tick for him. He's unbeaten at this track and trip and the inside draw should see him get every possible for Fiore. Racing in top order and can go one better now. MASAMUNE (5) led them up at York last start and was simply too good, running away with a 1.6L victory over 1200m. Back to 1100m here, but CJP replaces the apprentice and this looks to shape favourably. Can go back-to-back. STORM COMMANDER (2) hasn't been far away all campaign and was just 2.2L off the winner in a strong race here last start. Drawn the inside again today and only rises 1kg. Expecting him to be in this for a very long way. TOP OF THE POPS (10) can take closer order today from a good draw and is sure to make his presence felt. PRINCE (7) looks better suited here and can put his best foot forward. SUGGESTED PLAY: Head'em looks the one.
