Formscan - LEOPARDUCCIO (1) finished a commendable 7th in a 1400m Quinte on this course late last month and was probably unlucky not to have finished closer that day. On that evidence, he could be worth siding with back on PSF after his recent failure (14th) in a turf handicap. MURCIANO (5), who returned to form with an encouraging 2nd in a competitive Class 3 conditions race on this course, and last-start winner WOFF (4), back in a handicap under a 1kg penalty, are best equipped to pose a threat to the selection. PAINT IT BLACK (10) completes the shortlist after finishing 4th in a similar contest recently.
