Verdict

FURY (6) was a big winner fresh for the new yard then below that last time with the big weight over the longer journey. Drops in weight, back in trip, and gets a chance to atone. VANGUARD LEGEND (1) is an honest type who returned with a strong run, placing here over 6 ½f when coming from well back. Great record course and distance and will strip fitter. MIAMI VICE (4) is a super consistent type coming off a big win last time. Has the outside gate so expected to push forward and try to win from the front. POLARISING (7) is ready to peak after three runs back and is expected to be in the finish. ATLANTIC OCEAN (2) is overdue for a win and rates highly on best.
