VALLEY VICTORY (1) was safely held when ninth last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 19 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Is yet to be beaten in two starts at this course and distance. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. FABLED PRINCE (5) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths starting at 5/1. Yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Won't find this as tough so he is sure to be prominent. RELOAD'S REBEL (6) fought on well to finish second last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths when fresh from a lay-off. Likely improver with strong prospects. PAT'S GAMBLE (7) returned from a break and was racing on the turf for the first time when victorious over this course and distance last start, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Should camp just off the leaders. In the mix.
