Scored by a slim margin in a Listed handicap race upped to 1m1f (Vaal) in January; proven that he knows how to get his head in front (seeking a fourth career win); competing off a higher mark but unexposed in handicaps with this his second start in this company; prospects with drop in class a positive.

Verdict

A tight contest but KING's EXPRESS can land this. KING's EXPRESS is a four-time winner at this track and is expected to confirm authority with Hotarubi after they met last time out. C&D winner Money Heist is respected.
