Simply Deep should spear straight to the front of the small field. Tricky race. Most are in great form but a few of them definitely are better on the Devonport synthetic. SH'BOURNE POWER (3) was winding up into third in the race won by Stardarmus and Simply Deep second. Does go very well at this course and distance and back to the turf can turn the tables on that pair. SIMPLY DEEP (2) has been in top form and is hard to fault. Has Darmanin stick and actually meets Sh'Bourne Power better for beating him. Has had quite a few tries here though and yet to score. Looks the leader though and expected to give a sight again. TUSKEGEE (1) is a talented galloper in form and on record this course and distance is sure to be in the finish. STARDARMUS (4) is flying with three wins the last four runs but definitely prefer the all-weather to the turf. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sh'Bourne Power will be tough to stop.
