In depth

Verdict

Galactic Power has found some form lately but is edging up the weights again. Gang Warfare was third in a higher grade here at the start of the month but TACTICAL MANOEUVRE looks to have slipped to mark off which he should be capable of winning having already score three times at the track. Say The Word is also starting to look very well treated and Arctic Footprint only weakened at the last over course and distance last month. Montys Medoc runs his first handicap after just four career starts but cheekpieces and a step up in trip would need to bring about significant improvement.
