|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong early tempo with Magnifique driving forward from a wide gate with Lucky Doctor also handy. VICTORY SKY (3) impressed two back and repeated the dose last time out when sitting on the speed to score by 2L. Purton remains in the saddle and while the draw is sticky, he came from off the speed to win two back. Can continue his winning ways in this suitable event. MAGNIFIQUE (2) has won his last two on the turf course and now comes onto the All Weather surface for the first time. He has trialled well on this surface previously and he has the early speed to roll across from out wide. Can continue his winning run without surprising. BLAZING WIND (4) got the job done last time out as the race fav after getting every chance in the run. He drops in weight today with the claim of Wong and he can continue his strong run of recent form. GUMMY GUMMY (6) wasn't beaten far last start in a good return to form and this sets up nicely for him once again.
