Genuine tempo with Czech leading the way. BLACK SANDS (1) has been knocking on the door for a while now, closing off well last start to just miss by 1.3L. Drawn nicely again back in trip, where he has placed 2/3 previously. Right on the cusp of his maiden win and looks set to get the job done this time. LENDANEAR (3) closed off well here two back before a 4.9L defeat at Ascot most recently. Now on the quick turnaround, he drops back to 1400m and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Faithfull hops in the saddle and he can put his best foot forward in an easier race. TARENTELIA (8) sat on the speed over this course and distance last start and almost got the job done, beaten 0..2L. He draws better this time and he maps for a similar run. Can go one better without surprising. NEW ATTRACTION (7) resumes with the blinkers on today and should be in the finish if she can pick up where she left off. CZECH (10) may appreciate the drop in trip and is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Black Sands can capitalise on his good run of form.
