Vatican Rose is the likely leader at a slick tempo. BON'S A LAD (2) is bursting to win, the latest going down a nose here in this grade and beating a few of these. Will be close to the speed and expected two go close again. HIGHLANDS (1) is fitter for three runs this area and has mixed form a little but rates highly here on the last run when fifth in the same race as Bon's A Lad. Will be winding up late. KING BLING (4) is a speedy type who gave a sight in the same race fresh. Fitter and draws the fence. Will be in this for a long way. BRAZEN SAILOR (3) has been safely held last two and on a quick back-up over a sharper trip. Best figures measure up nicely. Watch late. SPLISH SPLASH (6) is next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Bon's A Lad.
