Verdict

TRIDENT RISING (2) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 1.3 lengths over 6f at this track. Open to plenty of improvement and is the testing material. NIMBUS STAR (1) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing third and only a long neck from the winner at the end of 5 ¾f. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Likely improver with strong prospects. SECTION EIGHTEEN (4) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing sixth over 6 ?f at this track nine months ago which was the only run of that prep. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will be in this for a long way. MEROVINGIAN (9) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 7f at this track, clocking in 3.5 lengths from the winner. A bold showing is expected.
