Verdict

LIGHT THE NIGHT (11) broke through stylishly last start, launching late with plenty in hand. Still has upside and can keep progressing. TEXAN WINDSTORM (1) is often overlooked but is a capable type on his day. Freshened with six weeks between runs and boasts a solid record at this track. Toeroek's booking is a strong push. Don't underestimate. THUNDER SHOC (6) has the sharp turn of foot to win this but hasn't had things fall her way of late. Draws to go back again, yet if the gaps appear she'll be very hard to hold out. RICHE D'AMOUR (5) tends to leave himself too much to do but can really motor late. If the splits come, he'll be charging. CLARENCE (2) has to lump the big weight but his best figures give him genuine claims. Worth keeping safe.
