Verdict

CATWALK ICON (10) started hard in the market all three runs in the debut campaign when it all might have come a bit too soon for her. A couple of recent trial wins suggest she's come back in fine style and draws to play a prominent role throughout. PRESTIGE ERICK (8) has had the two runs, beaten less than a length although unplaced on debut and then hit the line stylishly last start over 5 ½f. Will appreciate the extra distance here and doesn't have to get as far back from the low draw. Similarly, BLUE LIGHT DISCO (1) showed improvement from the debut to second-up and should give this a shake if there's any level of improvement out of the most recent run. JOIN THE QUE (3) hasn't placed in three runs to date, but two recent jumpout wins hint his best performance yet could be on the cards here. OLE ROYALE (6) comes through the same race as Blue Light Disco and has some ground to make up on that galloper from a wide gate but will have benefitted from the outing.
