Plenty of pace from Miss Mclaren, Blinked and Russian Pins vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest.
Looks a wide open contest. CIPHERTEXT (6) loves racing at this track and trip with a win and three seconds from four attempts and will be at peak fitness for this fourth run back from a break. Only needs some luck navigating from the sticky alley to be playing a major role in the outcome. WAYBURN (5) resumes here but the form he showed in his first preparation was good enough to feature in a race like this. Can run a big race while fresh. STORM MERCHANT (4) is one from one over this course and distance and has tuned up for this with two solid trials. Solid top-three prospects. MISS MCLAREN (8) got the maiden out of the way on debut before being tipped out for further time to mature. Include with the claim. CONFORMITY (9) next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 6,5,4,8.
