Plenty of first starters engaged which muddies the map a little. It is fair to assume a keen tempo. Between a couple of winners, some city form and well-bred first starters looks like a strong race going forward. CENTENARY FLORIN (8) has race experience and perhaps more importantly not only a win but also on wet ground. Was a heavy track winner on debut then placed over 1400m. Freshened for the sharper trip and should run well. NITRO SONIC (5) was a winner this course and distance last time in soft going and can only be improved. AMBER SMILE (2) is a well-bred colt who is a relation to three-time Group 1 winner Forbidden Love. Very well educated and has won two of three most recent jumps-outs. Expected to measure up. ALPINE POINT (1) is a colt by Blue Point out of Aspen having first start. Fitter for two recent jump-outs and worth keeping safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Centenary Florin.
