The action returns to the main track with a wide-open claimer and a speculative vote going the way of DOC KANE. He bids for a hat-trick of course and distance victories having switched yards yet again and looks worth sticking with on the back of last month’s three-length success. Perfetto finished behind the selection before going close back here and has a shout while Spectacular Road has the past form to figure and the lightly-raced Merango Tango is not out of this either dropping back down in class.
