QUIET WARRIOR found only one too good at this track on his recent debut and will be fancied to open his account in this. He's preferred to Perfect Pursuit and Rosie Prospects, with the latter making the most appeal of that pair after a debut third over track and trip. Costa Filey posted his best effort so far when runner-up at this venue back in May and steps up in trip for the first time today while Mercury Magic is a half-brother to a couple of winners on the all-weather and stands out among the newcomers.
