Going: Soft
Surface: T
VERDAD (6) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race when fresh from a lay-off last time out, finishing third and beaten only 2 lengths over 7f at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ZIRYAB (8) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by half a length last time out over 1m at Mornington. Taking on a better field but he is up to the task. ARQANA (12) went back early from her wide draw over 7f at this track last time but hit the line strongly to finish sixth. Worth including. SMOKIN' PRINCESS (2) scored last start at Sandown-Lakeside to make it three wins from four starts this campaign. Has a great record at this journey with four wins from six starts and has solid claims.
