Expecting Sky Rocket to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. SICILY (2) has been winding up strongly in stronger races. Placed 2/4 this course and distance. Big chance to break through. PITERAQ (1) ran fifth but was narrowly beaten in a blanket finish last time and freshened since. Racing well. Top prospects. SKY ROCKET (10) was fair last time over further but coming back in trip. Rates highly on best form. Can do much better. SLASH 'N BURN (7) is fitter again and expecting improvement. Among the better chances on bets figures.
