Kadesh to take charge ahead of Commandeur at a strong tempo. KADESH (10) was well supported on debut and showed brilliant early speed, leading for much of the way before being nabbed late. Improver who should take catching again. THE QUIET IMMORTAL (7) has shown enough ability to be getting off the mark soon. Ran on well fresh to just miss and has further improvement in store. ELSISI (2) has started once and drifted well back but came with a strong run to finish sixth. Better for it and will be winding up strongly. COMMANDEUR (1) was solid in a river maiden last time finishing midfield. Blinkers go on and with good early speed shapes as a key runner. ZUPPA INGLESE (13) ran well in town before a spell over much further. Showed good ability so far and will give a start this trip but charge late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Kadesh.
