Verdict

It's hard to knock the form of EXODAS (3) who has won three of four this preparation with Holt being in the irons for all three victories. Racing high on confidence of late and should be right there when the whips are cracking. NOTTINGTON PRINCE (2) boasts a win around this circuit and has placed four of five over this distance range. Looms as the main danger. MISTER DOOBEE (4) is a two-time winner here who is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Top-three conveyance. TORANAGA (7) was a touch disappointing last time out but the win here prior was full of merit. Worth another chance. BETTERLUCKNEXTTIME (1) is a last-start victor who shouldn't be slept on.
