PLATINUM PRINCE (NAP) picked up a prize last week and with no penalty attracted given he won an apprentices’ event, there is much to like about him on this occasion. Shalfa has a first start for Seamus Durack having left Marco Botti while Rose's Girl only just failed on her most recent visit to Brighton and Ed Dunlop’s filly will be a factor this afternoon despite the imposition of a small rise up the handicap for those endeavours. Marsh Benham was a convincing winner at Brighton in June though his subsequent efforts have been little to write home.
