Formscan - It's going to take a big performance to deny TROJAN SOLDIER another victory. Jedd O'Keeffe has his four-year-old in cracking nick and he readily cleared away from his rivals when completing the hat-trick in style here last time. He's had a small break and should take some stopping, with Secret Force and Treasure Islands the ones expected to put up most resistance.
