Verdict

VICTORY SKY (10) ran home strongly at this track and trip 20 days ago to just miss out by 0.8L. The form out of that race has been strong and he maps for a similar run this time around. Meets his key rival better at the weights this time and he can turn the tables. JUNEAU PRIDE (5) beat home Victory Sky when winning here as favourite 20 days ago and he should get every chance from the barrier once more. He jumps up in weight which is a niggle, but we probably haven't seen the best of him just yet. Nice trial between runs and he can repeat the dose. MASTER OF ALL (12) held on to score in a photo finish here 27 days ago when leading all the way as favourite. He rises in grade today, but he drops 11lbs and the form out of his race has been good. Will prove tough to catch. STORMING DRAGON (6) is better than he showed last start and can bounce back to his best.
