Didn't need to improve to win 11-runner handicap at this C&D (7/4) 12 days ago by head from Red Walls. Not taken lightly.

Forecasts

Maharajas Express (7/4), Rogue Thunder (4/1), Conquest Of Power (9/2), Toussarok (11/2), Red Walls (11/1), Smasher (12/1), Coolagh Magic (22/1), Katie G (22/1), Snow Berry (25/1), Maveric's Magic (28/1), Under Curfew (28/1), Midnight Flame (28/1)

Verdict

MAHARAJAS EXPRESS is well handicapped and took a firm step in the right direction debuting for a new yard when second here 5 days ago so, if the race doesn't come too soon, he's capable of going one better. Rogue Thunder, a former stablemate of the selection, is a big danger and old rival Red Walls can't be dismissed.
