Verdict

THUNDER PRINCE (3) just missed two back before a 2.3L defeat last time out at Happy Valley. He's still a maiden after 22 starts, but he's knocking on the door and although he hasn't raced on this surface, he's trialled very well on it. Maps for a nice run and can get the job done this time. GLACIATED (9) comes back to this track and trip today after a 1.8L defeat over 7f on the Turf most recently. He only just missed here two back and Maxime Guyon hops in the irons now. On the quick turnaround but looks the main danger on recent figures. REZEKI (2) just missed fresh before a disappointing performance last start out to 7f. Back to 6f now and onto the All Weather for the first time. J-Mac rides and everything points to a forward showing. DAY DAY VICTORY (4) is some niggle at the trip, but has to be included following a comfortable win last time out.
