Race preview

MATTHEW FLINDERS has shaped with lots of promise in three maiden/novice appearances and, off an attractive mark of 90, he could prove a tough nut to crack on his handicap debut. A strong-travelling sort, dropping down in trip shouldn't be any issue for him and he is potentially Pattern class. Cemhaan didn't enjoy a clear run at Lingfield last time and warrants respect now making his turf debut off the same mark, while Raaeq and Zegalo add further spice to the race.
