In depth
Verdict
Prize Fighter, Chutney Mary and Dusty Dane are three against the field in this competitive nursery and the tentative vote goes to Prize Fighter. The selection won well last timeout over course and distance when defeating Chutney Mary and although that rival is better off at the weights here he won with plenty in hand and he is taken to win again. Dusty Dane was a fair third behind He's A Diamond last time and that form has since been franked but he has had plenty of chances and is still a maiden so he is passed over on this occasion. Indibraun will appreciate the step up in trip but he looks to have plenty of weight for what he has actually achived. Of the remainder Pauline's Prince is another that won well over course and distance last time but he lacks the scope of the selection Prize Fighter.
