Interesting little race which should be run at a genuine clip. FATH AROUND, VIRTUAL TRADER and KOROLENKO are all capable of leading.

I’ve settled on (8) IMMUNETOJUDGEMENT who looks a very raw colt but does appear to have plenty of ability. All his trials were good and he ran very well on debut coming from the tail but being nosed out on the line. William Pike goes on and provided there is some tempo he should be hard to hold out.

(2)VIRTUAL TRADER was very good last week when he was sent forward from his wide gate to lead but just found the talented Antique Belle , who had the pie run, a little too strong. Only query is that Glenn Smith is off for Channelle O’Grady.

(6) TOTES AMAZE is the big improver. They rode him cold from his wide gate first up and he made late ground. From barrier 1 he should box seat.

(10) TRADING DAY is the huge watch in the race. He has really found the line nicely in his trials and he could be the one thundering home late.
