MAELSTROM (4) got home by just a neck at his latest appearance over 1200m at this track. Gets some weight relief this time so he is expected to measure up again. PERSIAN SPIRIT (3) was prominent throughout when winning fresh over 1200m at Kempton Park All Weather. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best figures should see her run well. DAN TUCKER (6) broke his maiden last start over 1200m at Ayr, scoring by 1.75 lengths. Re-unites with Jack Garritty who was on board last start. Tougher assignment this time but is one of the main contenders. DON PACIFICO (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Southwell All Weather, beaten 7 lengths into fourth. Well placed to bounce back.
