Triple Event can cross over and lead. Pace strong with Encomium and Another Story coming across from wide out. ELECTRIC LIGHT has never missed the placings in four career starts, all with Pike aboard, including two wins. Drawn the inside and looks the one to beat. SATURIA is a consistent mare fitter for one run back when runner-up. Should be prominent and looks a strong winning chance. TRIPLE EVENT is a consistent type who rates strongly here but will need a little luck from the draw. SIGIL is resuming but looks a strong winning chance fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Electric Light.
