FormscanBy Tom Weekes - STORM ERIC showed improvement on his last two runs and remains somewhat unexposed as a four year old. His third-placing in a January maiden was encouraging and is closely matched with six-time winner Indiana Grey on a recent course and distance run, but is open to a fraction more progression. Indiana Grey is an admirable type who is normally held up in her races, so the inside draw in 1 isn't much help, although she should again compete well. Tynamite is drawn wide 16 and while winless since December 2021, was beaten by a nose last month and will have no issues with today's extra furlong. Scarlet Dancer, whose previous win was in September 2021, has yet to win in 13 all-weather starts but has been running well recently and runs in a first-time tongue-tie. Maestro Stick is a dual CD winner who has been running well while Numoor debuts for a new yard having run well in a recent claimer.
