Verdict

GLORY CLOUD (1) drops back in class today after coming through a strong form race 42 days ago over this course and distance. Joao Moreira hops on board now and this looks a targeted assault. He's a track and trip winner previously and sharp improvement is anticipated. VIVA CHALEUR (9) sat handy and bolted in over this course and distance 18 days ago, winning by 3L. He can be handy from the inside draw this time and the rise in weight doesn't offset the winning margin. This looks to set up similarly and he can repeat the dose. COLOURFUL WINNER (4) is on resumption with three trials under his belt. He jumped favourite in a similar race back in December where he was narrowly beaten, but bled in the process. Looks ready to go judging by his latest outings and he can make a statement. NOBLE DELUXE (7) was much better here last start and the inside draw is a big tick. Can go on with the job.
