JUST VICTOR was just pipped last time but could go one better here and lose his maiden tag whilst there is likely to be a challenge from Hadron Collider who has had back-to-back second places with Tough Cookie also remaining in consideration for a place given some nice efforts in points. Only losing out last time by a nose our selection will have come on for that run and looks the most interesting in this contest. Hadron Collider is not out of contention having delivered some fine performances in his first three jump starts. He shouldn't be found wanting for pace and stamina does not pose any problems given the way he has run recently. Tough Cookie holds place prospects back under rules and could be the value in a tight race. Just Victor remains our choice and should just prevail.
