Race preview
GREAT COLACI showed a great attitude to finish second here three days ago and could go one better under 5lb claimer Oliver Stammers. The seven-year-old was hit across the nose by a rival's whip in the final strides earlier in the week, which won't have helped matters in such a tight finish, but this is a good opportunity and he could prove too strong for Vive La Difference, who took advantage of a low mark to strike on the same card on Monday. Moxy Mares and Dramatista could also make their presences felt.
