Verdict

PHOENIX OPEN wasn't beaten far back on turf over 9.5f here last time and while his strike rate is hardly compelling, he is appealing returned to this trip. The 6-y-o was beaten less than three lengths when fourth to The Bog Bank over a mile at Dundalk on his penultimate start and now meets that rival on significantly better terms. Easter Racer had The Bog Bank and Harbanaker (second choice) behind when scoring at Bellewstown last week, but he is by no means certain to uphold that form here.
