In depth

Verdict

LUANG PRABANG scored over track and trip last time and should go close again raised 4lb. Fire Diamond won over 7f here recently and is upped in class but Doria Road scored over a mile in this grade at Newcastle last month. Energia Flavio and Acrux were both placed over 7f on their latest starts while Rock N Rolla was beaten less than a length despite finishing only fifth over the latter distance here a fortnight ago.
