Verdict

IRE OF THE DRAGON (2) finished sixth last start over 1m at this track, beaten 16 metres. Best recent result was a win at this track three starts ago over 1m. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has the ability to take care of this field. SIR CANDY CLOUD (5) finished eighth two runs ago then broke and finished a long last over 1m at this track at the latest appearance. Won't find this any harder so he can return to form. PEPPERCORN BARRY (3) should be at his peak for this. Finished third over 1m at this track at the latest appearance two weeks ago. Sure to give the top fancies plenty to think about. THE MALDIVES (8) is worth some thought after his last-start fourth when resuming over 1 ¹/16m at Penrith on June 9. Each way value.
