Hot pace certain with Perfect Impact, Sicily and Red Wave keen to take up the running. CARIBBEAN GOLD (10) is worth following up. Made a nice debut here at the distance when on speed and placed, beaten a couple of lengths. Can only be improved and expected to go close despite the tricky draw. SIMBINE (1) resumes from a short break. Placed 3/6 career starts - all three at this trip. Has speed and off the inside should go close fresh. RED WAVE (4) was tested over further this campaign, placing fresh over 1500m before being safely held at the mile. Freshened and back sharply in trip for this is likely to be beaten for speed but get home hard late. SLASH 'N BURN (11) is appearing for the first time. By Mehmas and comes from the James Crawford stable. Profiles well and leading rider engaged so watch closely for a betting push.
