Track: GOOD4   Rain (Max: 21)   Rail: Out 5m Entire.  

A slick tempo on the cards with Kelvin and Little Silver battling for the lead ahead of Falcon Trader and Bandalera Miss. Good race to end the day. SHE'S IMMINENT (6) is progressing nicely and was only 1.3L away at Ascot most recently. This is tougher, but she rates well on that effort with a drop in weight and she's a course and distance winner previously. Looks set for this she'll be hard to beat with a new peak figure expected. LITTLE SILVER (3) ended up 2.6L away when first-up from a spell at Ascot 10 days ago, peaking on the run late in the race. Improvement is expected now and he's bound to get every possible from barrier 1. Sure to make his presence felt. FALCON TRADER (2) is better than she showed last time out and should appreciate getting into this easier race on paper. Still a progressive type with improvement to come, and he brings 'real form' into the event. Can put his best foot forward. PLATINUM SHOT (7) is never far away and is sure to be about the finish once again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing She's Imminent in the last.
