DOG IN THE FOG justified strong market support when making a belated winning debut over 1000m. He is probably a lot better than his opening mark suggests so it could pay to follow his progress. PERIODIC TABLE was a game-in-defeat second at this level on his handicap debut and will play another leading role if repeating that effort under a resultant 6-point penalty. HIGHWAYMAN HARRY and HEMISPHERE have the form and experience at this grade to trouble the principals, along with improving last-start winner EVENING PARADE. Fillies INDECENT OBSESSION, LADY HARLEQUIN and ASHVENDRA can also get involved.
