Just a moderate pace anticipated. BELLE JOURNEE (4) got a long way back at Ascot last time out but closed nicely to be 3.6L away at the finish. The better draw today can see him sit closer and his run over this course and distance two back was solid. Can land in a handy position and bounce back to winning ways. VANCOUVER STORM (6) has gotten a long way back in his recent races, though he has been finishing off strongly from those positions. Hopefully he can take closer order today. His run here two back was great and he appears the main danger on what he's done recently. OISIN (1) finished 0.8L off the winner last start over the mile and steps out to this trip for the first time in his career. He'll need a touch of luck from the draw, but his recent figures stack up. Can put his best foot forward. LET SPARKS FLY (7) surprised last start with a good win here and can repeat the dose. FIOREYES (2) can sit handy and put his best foot forward. SUGGESTED PLAY: Belle Journee gets the nod.
