Verdict

PIERROPLANE (7) has hit the ground running in his debut prep and finds another nice race. Is drawn to advantage and strips rock-hard fit on the quick back-up. Will take plenty of running down. FAST TEMPO (5) was a dominant winner here two back when scoring with a bit up his sleeve. Had excuses last time when a beaten favourite, pulling up with cardiac arrhythmia. Can bounce straight back to form here and gets a key switch in Holder. CANNY DEFENSE (4) knocked off Pierroplane earlier in the prep and has held his form since. Draws to blend into it at the right time. POLUNIN (8) has made a bright start to his career and can keep the ball rolling with another strong run. REGAL MIGHT (3) was too bad to be true last time on the heavy deck at Sandown-Hillside but his prior form was strong. Can bounce back.
