Verdict

RUN RUN TIMING (3) hasn't won for a while but is knocking on the door, missing by 0.8L last time out. A winner has already come out of his latest effort and he looks well placed third-up from an inside barrier. Rates highly and looks the one to beat. ORIENTAL SURPRISE (6) just missed by 0.3L over 5f last start and steps up to 6f again today. That doesn't look an issue from the barrier as he can land in a midfield position from the draw. Has placed at the trip previously and can build on his latest effort. LEGEND STAR (5) drops back to 6f today and returns to The Valley. J-Mac hops in the saddle this time and the inside draw can see him settle much closer than recent efforts. Expecting an improved run. SONIC BOOM (11) is better than he showed last time out and can bounce back.
