Bingo should lead at a keen tempo. PIVOTAL ROLE (7) was strongly fancied on debut here and after racing on seed fought on well to finish runner-up. Sure to be improved and looks promising. Will go close again. BINGO (3) was beaten for speed last time but knuckled down strongly late to finish runner-up. Given a let-up for this and drawn for a soft run on the inside. Will be launching late. WINTER BELLE (9) is better than form suggests. Made debut in stakes class three back and thereabouts in two runs since. Resumes here and sure to be better for the campaign. Don't underestimate. RINGHO (2) is a long time maiden but continues to be thereabouts. Fourth here last time and placed the start prior. Can feature again on best figures.
