Verdict

PHANTOM PRINCE (3) can mix his form but got home well here last time for third in a similar race over 6f, giving the indication that 7 ½f would suit nicely. This doesn't look an overly strong race. Go close. SHAY'S WAY (7) is fresh for this having struggled in tougher at Kyneton last time out. She draws well for Egan who can track the speed and have the last say. TIGHT GRIP (4) struggled here last time but didn't have much luck. His best figures can see him figure in the finish. SAXON BLOOD (1) resumes over a suitable kickoff point, he can look to hold a spot and box on for a minor placing.
