A tricky opening race. MERSEY STREET finished second here in October and shaped well when not quite getting home on his first try over 3m (soft) last month, only headed in the final 50 yards having made the running. He should be able to see out this trip back on a sharper track and can take this under a positive ride. Kadex showed glimpses of his old ability last time and he'd be a big player if able to build on that, while Chancellorstown should be more at home back up in trip today.
