Anticipating good pressure with many of these facing the starter for the first time. Should be a fair bit of pressure here and perhaps VIVARINI (10) will try to slot in. Showed plenty of speed on debut and led until the final bound but was grabbed late. Better for it and expected to take beating again. CINCINCITY (2) was close to a win before a spell and did run well fresh, racing on speed and boxing on well for fourth. Fitter for it and tricky draw again but will give a sight. PRESTIGE KA YING (9) showed good ability when placing on debut then was put away again. Beaten for speed fresh but really knuckled late and hit the line hard. Fitter and should be tough to stop with even luck. ICED POPPY (4) wasn't really fancied on debut but did catch the eye finishing hard. Drawn for a soft run with cover and with any improvement should be hard to hold out. TANANA (7) is another speedy type expected to give a sight off the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Vivarini.
