Verdict

WING AND A PRAYER (3) has been thereabouts in all 5 starts to date, and he has been either favourite of close to it in his last 3 outings. He will be trying a poly track for the first time here, but is trained on this course, so expect another honest effort. Can win. MANORBIER (2) is a stablemate of the top pick who will also be having his first race day start on this surface. He was running on strongly when fourth at Waverley nearly 4 weeks ago over 6f. The extra 1 ¾f is key, so stick with him. Each way. HONEYDAZE (5) needed his fresh run here over 4 ?f, and then ran his best race yet when runner-up 3 weeks ago on this track over 6 ½f. She is peaking at the right time for this, and her first win is not far away. TREASURE HUNT (6) will strip fitter after her fresh up fifth here 4 weeks ago, and she is worth including in all top 4 combos this time.
