Lyrics And Songs and Monkey's Wedding to battle for the leading role. MONKEY'S WEDDING (1) again failed to feature last start, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1600m at Fairview All Weather. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Sure to be in the finish. SAPPHIRE SUN (2) is a 13-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 1400m at Fairview All Weather. This looks a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. CAPRANICA (3) finished 16 lengths adrift in eighth last time at Kenilworth in a disappointing performance. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. LYRICS AND SONGS (6) improved last time out, finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 2000m at Fairview All Weather. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake.
