Plutonian was visually impressive when routing inferior rivals in a Windsor maiden last time but it was a weak race he won that day and there is a chance the handicapper may have over-reacted in allotting him a mark of 92 for his handicap debut. He could be worth taking on at the likely cramped odds with COLIBRI a possible value alternative given that he is a proven soft ground performer who has valid excuses for below par efforts the last twice. Night Circus may also do better after a gelding operation.
