GOLDEN CREEK is going the right way and can take this now stepped back up in trip. The Seeking The Gold colt is bred to get further with age, and proved himself on an artificial surface last time. Pedigree suggests that these slower underfoot conditions may well suit and with natural improvement he can prove up to the task. Newcomer Oceanway is of interest and if there is support we should take note. However, she is likely to be better for this experience and over further. Queen Of Cash gives the impression that handicapping will prove more fruitful, while Fred Willetts has some solid form in context and first-time blinkers may elicit some improvement.
