Plenty of pressure on from the outset. NIKES RAY OF LIGHT (3) showed good speed over this distance on the turf last time, fought hard but found one too good on the day. He has finished second once, third once and fourth twice from as many starts on this course. May be rewarded for consistency. AND ACTION (1) has finished second once and third once from as many starts on this course. He is likely to race up on the speed from his good draw of two and should be competitive. COLONEL GREEN (4) ran a fair race over this distance on the turf last time. He finished third in his only attempt over this course and distance. He has drawn pole position and should be figuring in the finish. HAT HOT HAT (2) has fair recent form lines to his name. He has been costly to follow but has not finished too far off the winner. Has top-three claims.
