Plenty of first starters engaged which makes it tricky to map, but we can assume a keen tempo. Tricky. XENTARO (1) trialled well at Belmont and then raced handy here on debut beaten 1L. He's been freshened and Chris Parnham sticks aboard. He can go one better. EYE OF THE FLY (2) resumed here and was only beaten 1.5L. He was expected to need it and will strip fitter. Maps well and will get his chance. MAHLER'S MELODY (9) debuted in the same race and disappointed. The in-form Faithfull is a key jockey switch and a much better effort is likely. ESPRESSO TIME (8) debuts with the blinkers on and has looked sharp at the trials. Draws an inside gate, and this is a winnable assignment. Elevate if serious money comes. SUGGESTED PLAY: Xentaro on what we've seen.
