Moderate tempo headed by Okami Star. AFLOAT (3) had nothing go his way first up off a long spell when soft in betting. Has placed at this longer trip previously and finds a track that should suit. Another chance. JUAN PABLO (6) impressed on debut before getting lost in the ruck in a big field last start. Rising in trip has genuine claims in this line up. IRISH JIG (5) was far from disgraced last campaign in handy maidens. Two recent trials have been spot on and looks set to hit the ground running. OKAMI STAR (7) was tough first up and should be suited by a longer trip. Drawn to be prominent from the outset. SO SUAVE (9) failed to impress in a summer debut and resumes as a gelding off a quiet trial. Definite improver SUGGESTED PLAY: Afloat win.
