PERLINO (6) Right up there last start at Cambridge Synthetic and have to respect the form at this distance. Proven performer on a soft track but up against tougher rivals. Serious player. TOWERING VISION (2) Bold effort when winning last time at this venue and solid performer at this trip in the past. Showing great form this preparation. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value . FREE BIRD (8) Moved through the field into 4th last run at Matamata. Should race on the speed. All 3 wins have been on a soft track. Good prospects. MALDINI (1) Fresh after break of 28 weeks. Clearly outclassed when 6th last start around here but matched against lesser competition. Back to a shorter distance. Has more weight to carry. Will give a big sight.
