COUNT OF AMAZONIA completed a double over track and trip at the end of 2020 and was narrowly beaten in a conditions race at Newcastle before running well in a couple of outings at Meydan. Marco Botti’s charge can return to winning ways back at this venue and confirm Newcastle running with Vintager. The latter has won a handicap off today’s mark in the past but Gloves Lynch carries a 5lb penalty after ending a long losing run with last week’s course and distance success. The Gill Brothers was beaten only a length at Wolverhampton recently and Librisa Breeze has undergone wind surgery since last in action.
