---|---|---|---|---|
Plenty of pace evident with You And I and Noises leading the way from Casanova and Blazing Sword. BLAZING SWORD (7) was very strong late last start behind a promising stablemate. Finds an ideal trip third up and has nice upside into this. Time to get on. NOISES (6) comes off a strong maiden win last start and looks to have more to offer at her third run back. Stays down in the weights and has major claims. CASANOVA (1) is racing in great heart this time in and has had a solid grounding for the rise in trip with three lead-up runs. Drawn to advantage and rates strongly. Ideally placed. CASABLANCA EXPRESS (8) hinted at improvement when placed in a small field last time out and gets to a trip that should suit. Respect any market support his way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blazing Sword straight out.
