Genuine tempo with Queen Selyse and Whisky Fever leading the way. KENTUCKY DRIVE (6) comes into this third-up and gets the blinkers on for the first time. Tash Faithfull hops in the saddle from an inside draw and she looks poised to strike back to an easier level today. Can get the job done this time. QUEEN SELYSE (10) will find this much easier than her latest effort where she was a touch below her best. Her effort prior at Albany was super and that rates highly in this field. Has the speed to roll across from the draw and will take catching. I'LL KEEP HALF (5) has shown enough at the trials to suggest she can fire a shot for the new stable on debut. CJP makes the trip to ride her after partnering at the trials. Key player. ACTION NOT TALK (3) gets the blinkers on for the first time today and can improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Kentucky Drive gets the nod.
