RACE COMMENT
OUR VINCENT CAN GOGH (7) has the hoof on the till after finishing runner-up in his last two outings at this circuit, both from wider draws. Comes back in distance but should be hitting peak fitness so could go one better. FRANCO TYSON (8) has improved with each start this time in and put the writing on the wall when runner-up here on Monday. Draws a couple of spots wider but with race fitness on his side now could strike. UNFAZED (5) continues to race well having won at this circuit and distance last month and finished top-four in each outing since, coming from wider draws than this each time. DOUBLE ACT (4) hasn't been far away at his last couple and should get his chance from the favourable barrier. The inside draw gives TERRY (1) the chance to show his best.
