Verdict

ANTON (4) treks South with a very strong record on the Cambridge synthetic track, which includes 4 wins. He may have a query around 7f, but he may make a play for the lead here, and if he gets there without too much pressure, he will take plenty of pegging back in this. VITTORIO VENETO (2) was sent around for practice when finishing fifth at Cambridge 6 days ago over 4 ?f, and he will be spot on for this, especially back on his favourite track. He is perfectly drawn in the pole position, and he can take this out. KERETI (1) has not missed a cheque in 5 starts on this course, including 2 wins. He has the carded top-weight for a reason, and should be right in the thick of things again. MEGLIO DI FALCREST (5) is an honest veteran racing in good form, and she can secure a cosy run from a handy gate in this. She is another of the many top 4 chances here. KA YING LUCKY (8) has been battling to find his best, and he could well be looking for this trip, which has been an issue. Include.
