Verdict

CIRCUIT FIERY (8) is racing in good order, winning three back and holding his form since. Purton hops back on board today which is a good push and the inside draw is a big tick. Looks set to go one better this time around. REZEKI (2) won well two back over this track and trip before a 1L defeat most recently. He has the speed to roll across from a tricky gate and he rates highly on his recent form. Can go one better this time around. FRANCIS MEYNELL (6) flew home from the back of the pack to be just 1.8L off the winner here a fortnight ago at massive odds. He may be able to take closer order from a better gate this timer around and he drops in weight. Hasn't won for a long time but he put the writing on the wall last time out. TYCOON EXPRESS (5) can improve getting out in trip today.
