Victor The Rapid continues to find the line well, placing in back-to-back runs carrying 133lb after a win from behind midfield. He must have claims. The well-rated Giant Leap went okay stalking the pace from gate 11 two runs ago following a downgrade before finding only Giant Ballon too good after a one-out, one-back run from a better draw. He's one of the chances. Old-timer Phoenix Light went okay in his first two runs following an injury-induced absence before finishing ninth without a clear crack at them over the final 150m. He has placed in three of six past C&D runs and can bob up at a price. Giant Ballon must offset a wide draw carrying 9lb more but his consistency was finally rewarded with a win when comfortably making all last start when revisiting the Valley 1,200m. He's too honest to ignore.
