Pace strong with Nina's Comet and Extra Fling leading with Firefinch nearby. EXTRA FLING (3) produced a nice effort here on debut a fortnight ago when second, beaten a head. Promising type with improvement to come so he will prove tough to beat. NO BAIL (4) resumes. Went better than his form probably reads in his debut prep, with the winners around him reading favourably. Has trialled sharply in readiness and draws well. Expected to make a bright return. POLUNIN (5) is a Zousain gelding on debut for the sharp juvenile stable of R & C Jolly. Will be improved off a trial placing and shapes well for this, though will need a smart steer from the car park draw. BELLE MONTAGNE (11) took a good step forward here in her second outing when chasing gamely into the placings at long odds. Is open to further but is another that is drawn awkwardly. SUGGESTED PLAY: Extra Fling to win. Wary of No Bail.
