Manhattan Rhythm to find the front in the small field. MANHATTAN RHYTHM (1) will find this a little easier than what he's been racing in and wasn't disgraced last start despite jumping a $26 chance. He rates highly on the back of those performances and looks well placed coming back to this level. Can get the job done this time. FREE RIDE (3) resumed with a good performance at Belmont when finishing off nicely over 1200m. Out to this trip for the first time looks to suit and the inside draw should see him get every chance. Blinkers come off now and with improvement on the cards, he can make his presence felt. NEW YORK GROOVE (6) stuck on well over 1200m on debut when finishing off strongly behind Free Ride. May end up back in the run again, but she looks better suited out to this distance. She won't be far away. MISS APPLECROSS (7) looks suited out to 1400m on debut and has to be included for the Pike and Williams combo. CARRIGANE BOY (2) can play a leading role back to this level. SUGGESTED PLAY: Manhattan Rhythm looks the one to beat.
