Royal Gladiator is the likely leader at a keen tempo. VIN SANTO (5) has hit a purple patch this time in work with a win and two seconds from three outings. Gets some weight relief and can continue the rich vein of form. ROYAL GLADIATOR (6) is a three-time winner around this circuit who should be able to sit up on speed. Sure to be thereabouts. CUESTA (4) has placed four of seven over this journey and maps nicely for this from gate two. In the mix. DOUBTWILLY (10) next best from the inside alley. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Vin Santo.
