Track: Soft 5   Clouds (Max: 17)   Rail: +4m Entire .  

Expecting Perisseuo to bounce to the front and lead from the low draw. THE DAILY PLANET (3) has shown glimpses of ability when tackling opposition, so he will appreciate this easier assignment. Should be sharper this time as he debuts the blinkers. Can land the winning blow. FLYING ASSASSIN (1) boasts a strong record third-up, so expecting sharp improvement. Will appreciate the anticipated tempo and can run them down late. HERWORTH (12) faded late last start after showing good early speed. Strips fitter third-up on the quick turnaround and is right in the mix with a bit of improvement. ILIAD (8) has been gradually working into form and should appreciate the class drop. A forward showing wouldn’t surprise. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to The Daily Planet.
