REQUINTO DAWN has now won three of his last four outings having beaten Excessable by over four lengths over track and trip a week ago with Global Hope further behind. Due to be raised a further 4lb after today, he can defy today’s penalty. Lord Oberon won over 7f here last time having tumbled down the weights and could go well again but Scale Force is upped in distance on the back of a double over 5f, including this track on his latest start. Spring Romance has won three times here though has a bit to prove off his current mark.
