|---|---|---|---|---|

Genuine tempo with Culture Day leading the way. CULTURE DAY (7) returns off a break after racing below best last time in. All three career wins have been fresh. Won this last year leading throughout. Expected to go close. ASK ONE TIME (8) came from near last to finish runner-up last time. Top chance. GRAND EST (13) has gone a long time since a win but excels fresh. Look for a bold run. JO MEDVIND (9) was a strong winner fresh and goes well second-up. Should be tough to stop again.
