Blue Shield and Foxsky can be prominent. Tough race with plenty of chances. BLUE SHIELD (2) has placed two of two so far and looks hard to beat. Speedy type who is drawn well and will be in this for a long way again. LOTTA CITY (10) returned from a break here with a narrow second and can only be fitter. Placed 2/2 course and distance here at home and looks a top chance again. ALPHABET (8) has placed 3/5 so far and gets to 1200m for the first time. Has wound up strongly each run and strips fitter for a fresh-up placing. FOXSKY (6) is a local galloper who has also placed 3/5 and all three minors have been on rain-affected ground. Has the pace to go forward and will take catching. SUGGESTED PLAY: Blue Shield will give a sight.
