Dress To Impress refused to settle when firmly put in his place by Yungaburra, however he steps up a furlong today and would be a danger if settling better. However, perhaps the one to concentrate on could be Beauchamp Viceroy and he gets the nod ahead of Mr Loire. The selection won over course and distance back in August and put in a solid effort when second to Solid Rock eleven days ago. He steps back in trip today, which looks a positive, and he could be capable of a very bold show. Mr Loire was slow away last time out over course and distance, and looked unlucky as he stayed on late and could have won had he not forfeited several lengths at the start. He rates a live danger in this competitive nursery, however for the winner we return to Beauchamp Viceroy.
