Verdict

COURS VITE (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 7f at this track. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. VALLEY PRINCE (2) drifted back and never threatened when sixth last start over 7f at this track. Well weighted and looks hard to beat on his best form. DENUTO (5) led early and was still in the firing line on the turn before tiring to finish fifth over 5 ½f at this track last time out. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. NASHA (4) has had dozens of tries and still a maiden this circuit but rates well on best.
