No noted leaders on paper so Vieri and Elusive Mission are the ones likely to be prominent. VIERI (3) impressed on debut behind a progressive winner and gets a look at a longer trip second up. Early results type who finds a winnable maiden here. ALICE MAE (1) has had a solid grounding of late for this type of trip and draws a much softer alley. Overall form has been sound and proven in all conditions. Mare with lots to like. CASHBURN (6) blew the start on debut but still proved she can gallop when beaten less than a length. Tougher test here but more than capable with the pole draw and a three-kilo claim. THE BENTLEY (5) finds a draw with options and has been mostly consistent this campaign. Rock hard fit for this type of trip and rates well on home patch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Vieri win.
