Verdict

COORONG TYCOON (6) had little luck last start when searching for a run but hit the line strongly once clear. The drop back to 1 ?m looks ideal and he should be right at his peak fourth-up. With uninterrupted air at the right moment, he'll take plenty of stopping. MELLIFLUENT (3) keeps knocking on the door, narrowly denied again last time. He's untested at this trip but shapes as though he'll handle it. With Toeroek staying aboard he doesn't need to find much to be in the finish. WILD WINNER (5) gets back to a more suitable journey and is rock-hard fit. If she produces her best, she's a genuine winning chance. KING OF WESSEX (7) was poor when last sighted but his prior form reads well, and the drop in trip after 56 days off should help him rebound. Keep safe. CONNI ISLAND (2) is flying and brings sharp early speed. The distance is the query, but if he gets a soft lead he could pinch it.
