Verdict

BUCKENARA (1) was solid first-up and should take plenty of benefit from the outing. Maps for an economical run from the low draw and looks a strong top-three chance. WHERE'S MY HALO (10) is building nicely with two strong closing runs and will relish the extra ground. KING OF THE RING (5) will be charging late but may just need one more, and maybe a thinner field. COPARTNER PEGASUS (2) could be a big improver at start number two.
