A distinct absence of early speed so don't expect any records to be broken. DISCO TALK (6) is resuming from a spell of over 2 years and must have been in work for some time as she looked in good condition when finishing third in a trial early in April. She has a good draw and will give this a shake. The market will be your best guide. QUEEN CALANTHE (7) ran out of puff late at Horsham last start and will be a lot sharper on a 6-day backup. A good draw will help, and with 4.5kg less to carry, she can have a say in the outcome of this race. SMOKIN' EYES (12) ran her best race yet when finishing on strongly for third at Clare last time out. She will continue to improve with racing and is worth including in all multiples. REIBY PRINCESS (8) has been trying to break through for some time and could be best on a wet track. Rochelle Milnes picks up the ride. Stick with her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Queen Calanthe each-way.
