Pace genuine with Uni Queen and Decoration pressing hard closely followed by Myzoom and Fifth Essence. ARRANGEMENT (6) won well two back before a narrow defeat over the mile here in a CL3 last start. Out to 1800m now looks a good move and Pike hops in the saddle. He looks a progressive type on the rise and while this is tougher, he looks up to the mark on his recent efforts. Can go one better now. CLASSIC IMPACT (3) bolted in here two back before getting a long way back in the run last start and never really featuring, ending up 4.3L off the winner. An inside draw this time can see him back on the speed where she was running her best figures recently. Can bounce back in a big way. MYZOOM (7) ran away with the win in a CL1 event last start over the mile and rises to this trip for the first time. Reminds down in the weights now and the rise in trip looks no issue on her latest effort. Include. FIFTH ESSENCE (1) can sit on the speed out in trip for the first time and will take catching. STARATING (4) is better than she showed last start and can bounce back in a big way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Arrangement looks a nice horse on the rise.
