Results
REVELARE (2) is a winning machine, putting up his fourth victory in a row last start over this track and trip, and overcoming plenty of traffic issues to do so when bursting through late. The one length margin undersold the victory and weight swings to his rivals may not be enough to turn the tables on this progressive galloper. KINGS VALLEY (8) was second to Revelare last time and ran well, continuing his consistent form. He should take plenty of beating again. SHINY NEW DEEL (16) has been behind the top pick twice in a row now but is racing well and gets Craig Williams on the minimum weight. STEEL RUN (10) resumes and is interesting. He's a lightly raced stayer who won well at 2500m before a spell. Watch the betting. BUR DUBAI (14) was at the tail fresh but the splits said he was warming late and can be an improver here.
