Lady Dexterous has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. EAU DE COLOGNE (2) was put away after a moderate debut run but showed rapid improvement when first-up over 1600m. The fitness benefit from that run will serve him well here and is very well drawn. VELIA (14) will be better for the experience of two runs and looks suited by the step up in trip. TULCHAN (8) got out to 2400m last prep and will be better over further but the inside alley gives him his chance to play a role over this trip fresh. VIDACII (9) is also well drawn and can improve after a couple of runs back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Eau De Cologne to win.
