    Verdict

    Don Pietro is supported on a return to turf and he can get the measure of Full Victory and Fifty Cents. Don Pietro's form on soft going around this track reads well and having ran a fair effort on Lingfield's polytrack, he can be expected to give another fair account on Friday. Full Victory is a rare flat runner for Rod Farrant. Proven on soft going, he is likely to be a few points bigger than the formbook allows. Fifty Cents makes a handicap debut. The market is watched copiously as a consequence. Wovoka has the ability to win this but is very in-and-out as consistency is concerned. Personify and Master Pegasus appear to need better going while in-form Golden Prospect encounters this surface for the first time. Harare chases a first victory on turf and was not disgraced at the course last time out. A moderate finale given the quality beforehand and Don Pietro looks to have every chance if reproducing his best form.
