Verdict

ACE POWER (8) gets Ferraris back in the saddle today after a disappointing performance last time out at Happy Valley. He's since switched to the Newnham stable who has taken the gear off him today and switches him back onto the All Weather. Can find a position from the good draw and return to winning ways. ONE MAN SHOW (2) missed by 1.5L here last start after a narrow defeat two back. Purton hops in the saddle now, though the wide draw is a niggle. Will need some luck, but he possesses good tactical speed and he's likely to be in the finish. JUICY DRAGON (11) finished 1.75 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 6f at this track, an improvement on his fifth at this track the run before. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. BUNDLE OF CHARM (3) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth over 6f at The Valley. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
