Verdict

ROYAL ACCOLADE (2) made it two wins in a row with a strong effort last start over 5 ½f here, scoring by nearly 2 lengths. He has thrived since joining the Rod Brown stable, and the hat-trick beckons. DUBLIN RED (5) missed the placings two runs back and then was eighth over 5 ½f here three weeks ago. She needed her last run, and with less time between starts here, she can figure in the top 3 at some decent each-way value. TROPICAL SUN (8) has had support in the market lately but hasn't delivered, her latest being a modest seventh over 6f here 6 days ago. She is capable of much better, and gets her first good draw since joining the Helen Harding stable. A form reversal is on the cards. DIEGO DYNAMITE (9) was below par last start, finishing fifth over 6f here 6 days ago when working too hard to find the lead. He has never missed the placings in 2 runs over this trip at this track, and he can bounce back. OREGON HIKER (3) is worth keeping an eye on in the market.
