Reigning Star should spear straight to the front of the small field. REDWINELOVER (2) made it two on the bounce in fine style here last time, adding to her terrific record at this venue. Drops back in trip off 33 days and is drawn to get all the favours. Hat-trick inbound. NOBLE MAGNATE (1) never looked likely when resuming off 300 days in town, settling a long way back from an outside draw and never coming on. Better for the hitout and this is significantly easier. Watch for sharp improvement. WILLIAM'S QUEST (5) has been no match for Redwinelover the last three times they've met but he does get in slightly better at the weights this time and strips fitter second-up. Can find the frame in a small field. REIGNING STAR (3) hasn't inspired confidence in her two runs back but looks best of the rest in a thin contest. SUGGESTED PLAY: Redwinelover to win again.
