Verdict

GOING NUCLEAR (2) has hit a purple patch of form with a win and three placings from his past four outings and strikes a winnable contest here. Saves his best form for this distance range and should be right there when the whips are cracking. BO BO BEWARE (4) has placed two from three at this track and trip and gets some weight relief with the 1.5kg claim. Looms as the main danger. RELEASE LE MISSILE (3) got a well-deserved victory here last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that win. Top-three candidate on that sort of form. The well-related BRASCO (1) (half to G2 winner Blueberry Hill) is another last-start winner who is a must for the multiples. TORQUE ESPAGNA (8) next in line.
