Verdict

KING OF LIGHT (9) resumes off a long break, though he's ready for this judging by his latest trial. Morton's comments suggest he's here to fire with an eye to the eastern states this campaign. 6 ½f first-up is ideal with Pike on board and he can return with a bang. SNOWDOME (2) should get the run of the race from a good draw and is right on the cusp of a drought breaking win. A firmer surface this time should help his chances and he's a winner over this trip previously. Can go one better without surprising. FLURO NEURO (4) comes through the Belmont Newmarket and now gets CJP back on board with the firmer footing suiting. He won the Bolton in good figures and a return to that form would see him hard to hold out. MAN CRUSH (1) can improve third-up into the campaign with an inside barrier. FINAL SIREN (6) is racing well and won't be far away.
