Verdict
Turibius can land a difficult contest although Treasure Cay and Fruit of Glory hold solid formbook chances. Turibius' career appears to have been blighted by near misses but this horse does run well fresh and provided that everything drops into place, a decent run can be anticipated at a juicy price. Treasure Cay has plenty on for a number of solid efforts on both polytrack and turf. Another to have had an absence from the track, the market should serve as a fair indicator. Fruit of Glory was running in listed races earlier in the year. This is a substantial drop in class for her but she can win handicaps under big weights so her chances are respected. Polish Emperor is best when allowed to dictate terms but holds Mirasol Princess on their most recent meeting. A hard race in which Turibius is selected in the hope that the break has brought about a change of luck.
