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.
