Verdict

TURBO TORQUE (4) is unlucky to still be a maiden hitting the top-four in seven of his past eight outings and strikes a very winnable contest here. Has placed two of three around this circuit and gets in well at the weights with the 7lbs claim. Rates the testing material. LEICA FLAMINGO (6) just ran into one better over this course and distance last time out and looks to be building up to a maiden victory. Bold showing expected. PROVISEUR (1) strips fitter third-up from the spell and should appreciate the extra trip here. Top-three commodity. NOTFORTHEMONEY (7) has placed over this track and trip and gets the services of Wiggins in the irons. In the mix. SAN JUAN (2) rounds out the selections.
