Firey Truth may well find the front is a race devoid of early speed. FIREY TRUTH (1) broke the maiden status here last time out and will have derived a stack of confidence from that victory. Can go back-to-back without surprising. BOLERO (5) is a bit hit or miss but has placed two from two over this course and distance and is more than capable enough on his day. In the mix on best figures. MISSILE AWAY (7) gets in well at the weights with the claim and can trouble the judge with any luck in running. VEGA SICILIA (4) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Firey Truth.
