Jimmy The Rich writes that Dyce from the Lucky Houdalakis stable takes his place in Race 3 and he is the likely Pick 6 banker. He has produced two good efforts to date.
He raced from just off the pace last time and tried hard all the way to the line.
The son of William Longsword looks to be a progressive type and in this type of field, he should be hard to beat.
Persica may be the one to close off the meeting for St John Gray. She is better than her last start as she was reported to be coughing.
It must be noted that there have been multiple winners from that form line. She has won three times and finished third once from ten starts on this course.
The daughter of Querari takes a drop in class this afternoon and she should get back to winning ways.
The false rail is at zero on the back straight and bend with a 1,5m spur at the 600m mark.
