Verdict

A tight handicap but FLUCTUATION could prove the safest option. He just prevailed over C&D last time having covered plenty of ground from his high draw and is fancied to land a hat-trick at the chief expense of Andiamo Via. The latter has been in fine form at this track of late winning two of his last three starts and looks sure to be in the firing-line again as he has the beating of Mazovian on collateral form, while Piceno is another to consider on his close-up second here last month. Striker Torres has just the one win in over two years now and Alpha Tauri is better in plating company.
