PHILIP WOO’S FORMLINE
Waldorf didn't click when coming out of a defeat against a similar group with lacerations to his left front cannon bone but was hard to keep out of the finish in three of four other C&D runs, including a neck decision over Fat Turtle. He clearly deserves another chance. Shining Ace comes off an unlucky fifth behind Victoriam and was never out of the top three in 10 other C&D runs this term, including a third victory when comfortably beating Winning Method two back. He'll go close. Winning Method has reeled off three straight seconds, including his past two at this level behind rivals Shining Ace and Victoriam, but will get no favours from gate 12 with Matthew Chadwick in the saddle for the suspended Joao Moreira. Encore Boy is likely on or near his mark but has been a model of consistency in his nine starts this term, including two wins on the dirt, and he has filled the frame in both C&D runs. He's a place roughie.
