Sophia's Charm should lead and dictate here. Probably a query on the depth of form coming into this maiden but Sophia's Charm and How Sweet It Is look the natural pacemaking action. ESCAPADO looks very well placed to notch his maiden victory at start number four. Has put in three handy runs this time in against genuine opposition and finds his right race now. Hard fit and pay to follow. GRAVITATE was placed first up in slightly weaker class indicating a fruitful campaign awaits. Tried hard without success last time in work and at first start for the Coyle stable is still worth entertaining. SOPHIA'S CHARM is a long time maiden but should still make her own luck here despite a wide gate. Can't knock her results in three runs this time in and a drying track would play in her favour. Look for a competitive showing. I'm Bulletproof has been thereabouts of late and battled on well last start whilst First Channel could easily improve at odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Gravitate and Escapado to fight it out.
