Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Ihaveseenthelight. SHE'S GOT LYRICS (9) has been thereabouts in all three runs this preparation and looks ready for the step-up to the 1640m journey now. Should get a soft sit from gate two and rates among the leading chances in this line-up. Stablemate USE YOUR ILLUSION (5) strips fitter third-up from the spell and will get a gun run in transit from the inside marble. Top-three aspirations in a suitable race. ROXSET (8) hit the line strongly last time out and reunites with hoop Tarrant. Looks one for the exotics players. IHAVESEENTHELIGHT (2) will be at peak fitness now fourth-up from the spell and rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: She's Got Lyrics to break through.
