Wildly competitive group with our own Landauer returning to the Spa in career best form. He owns the top Timeform Late Pace figure and the addition of Dylan Davis should make for more aggressive handling. More likely for a late arriving minor award than laurels, but the added ground might be the difference..

Exotics Use: #7 Right to Win 3-1 WON ($9.10)
