VERCICAT is maturing. He ran two very decent races in a row. Last time out on his track debut he was a bit unlucky in running and with a repeat of that effort could get back into the winner's enclosure. AVIGNON has beaten him the last two times they met and was an impressive winner of his last start. He has much more to do at the weights but must have a say. GOLD DUST could be the biggest threat. He can make amends (from draw one) after finding only one better from a wide gate. PARATROOPER is also weighted to turn the form around with AVIGNON but he has drawn widest.
