TORO DORADO was suited by a strong gallop over the course and distance last week where he didn't quite get the run of the race. He could have done without a 5lb rise but the assessor had little option as the remainder were a long way behind. Dancing Jo attracted plenty of support in a 7f nursery here and got on top approaching the final furlong where he stayed on well. He should have few problems with the longer trip but Rambaldi has plenty of weight for his handicap debut. Red Phoenix hasn't shown much in his three starts including on Polytrack while Irish Art has looked one-paced in his runs, two of them over the track and trip.
