summary


I was really impressed with the most recent trial of the debutant MONKEY JEWELLERY. This son of Exceed and Excel has drawn awkwardly but has struck a Class 4 race without a great deal of depth and this fellow looks like he can score on debut. Obviously, his pricing is a little more subjective than normal given my view and assessment of his trials and work. CORDYCEPS has the right form to be competitive but a fair trial is somewhat concerning, albeit on the all-weather track. His win last term has him sit amongst the hardest to beat, but I am a touch wary given his work. COMPLACENCY has had the benefit of a run this preparation and the step up to 1200m is a positive. HONEST WAY has a gear change (cheek-pieces on) and his best form from last term would see him competitive. He appears too big a price in the early markets. That said, I’m happy to speculate on this John Size-trained debutant Monkey Jewellery.

SUPER EIGHTEEN can lead here and should ensure that the speed is GOOD. CORDYCEPS and VERY SWEET ORANGE can also be asked to sit in forward positions ahead of MUTUAL JOY and ROYAL MOJITO.
