Verdict

FLAMING EYES (4) left herself with too much to do here last start but her closing burst was strong. She's rock-hard fit now and carries a feather with the claimer sticking. If she can land a pair or two closer, she'll prove very tough to hold out. SOMEWHERE SOON (9) is trending the right way, launching late third-up to arrive right on the line. There's more to come, and with Holder likely able to have her closer in the run, she's a major player again. TYUSIX (7) was a strong winner fresh and has been building nicely since. He's at peak fitness now, though he'll need a slice of luck from the draw. KING OF WESSEX (3) did enough when resuming here two weeks ago, and Toeroek's booking is a strong signal he's going well. Capable of giving this a shake.
