THE PREMIER PLATE (HANDICAP) 1800m Track: GOOD |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting a strong gallop with Pray For Mir and Sword Point taking up the running over Californiatotality. The G3 Premier Plate now and ENSUED (4) goes on top as Purton reunites with the gelding at his preferred track and trip. He's a G3 winner in the past and was placed in a similar event when the $2.70 favourite back in January. Maps for a lovely run and can return to the winners circle. CHANCHENG GLORY (2) just missed in The Lion Rock Trophy when sitting on the speed throughout and he boasts a strong record at this track and trip. He has the speed to roll across from the deep and if he can hold his form, he'll take catching. CAP FERRAT (7) was a somewhat surprise winner of the Derby but has held that form since. His run in the G1 last start was solid and back to this trip doesn't appear an issue. Bowman rides and he's sure to be in the finish. BUNDLE AWARD (10) wasn't far behind Cap Ferrat in the G1 28 days ago and is a winner at this track and trip in March. Watch for him flying late.
