Speechmaker prominent. Lots of chances in this and how the track is presented will be critical. MERCY HILL was very brave last start and is best clockwise so can win this. KIRKINTILLOCH was a close second resuming and can go one better in this. Class dropper. ANGELINE will find this easier than her fresh up field where she ran well. Include in the trifecta and first four. Wagner down in class can be in this at double figures with a 4kg claim. Bojangles has won here before. He can handle rising 2kg. Artiste a place and first four chance at least. Alternative Fact is a backrunner but after a 4kg claim will find the line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Kirkintilloch.
