Verdict

KING OF LOVE (10) has been hard to fault of late and he made it two in a row when successful at his latest appearance over 1 ?m at this track, getting home by 8 metres. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. VIKSUN (1) was 8 metres away in third at this track over 1 ?m last start at her first run back from a spell. No excuses from this advantageous draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but she is fitter for that last hit-out and capable of making her presence felt. SPOTLIGHT (2) is worth another chance after a last-start tenth over 1 ?m at this track eight days ago. SO VOGUE (11) finished fifth two runs ago then broke and finished a distant 11th over 1 ?m at this track at the latest appearance. Hard to know where she gets from this slightly awkward draw. Can't make any mistakes against this field but she is right in the mix.
