    Race Analysis

    BEAT THE DEVIL (9) placed third in all three starts since returning to the flat including losing out by 0. 75L over 7f at this course twenty three days ago. Selected to record his first win. BOYNE VALLEY (1) lost out by 0. 5L in placing second over 1m2 1/2f at this track last month. Warrants thought as expected to play a role. IMPERIAL FIGHTER (2) recorded a 4L fifth competing over 7f at this circuit. Must be considered seeking his second AW triumph. MAN IS KING (14) performed well running 2. 5L third over 1m2 1/2f at this venue a month ago. Of note aiming to record the first victory of his career.
