Verdict

DANTES (2) returned from a break with a solid third last start at this track over 1400m after he got back in the run. Won't be bothered by this longer journey and flies second-up. FIORENTE DE LEGEND (5) continued the good recent form when beaten just a nose over 1600m at this track. The inside gate can be managed in the small field, and she's a live hope. JOHNNIE PINCH (4) was plain here last time but brought solid form to that. He hasn't won for a while, but can't be ruled out on a 5-day return. Stablemate IFFYCOULD (3) has his third start for the yard following a switch from Victoria and has a handy 2kg claim. Has more to give and is in the mix.
