Tricky one to map with a number of debutants but over this trip there is good speed anticipated. OFFICIAL BUSINESS (2) showed talent as a juvenile and has made further improvement this season with a brace of second place finishes from as many starts. Dropping back from 1200m to 1100m looks to be the right move, and he can get the job done this time. SEVEN NO TRUMPS (8) has been improving in each of his trials this year, winning the most recent of those just over a week ago as a gelding. A good draw should see him make an immediate impact on race day. Follow the market confidence. FIREARM (1) was a promising juvenile, who resumes from a spell that would have done him the world of good. A recent trial will have him fit, and if he doesn't need another hit-out, he should be very competitive fresh up. FROSTED WARRIOR (3) resumes as a gelding, and now that his mind is fully focused on racing, he can race up to the talent he has shown at the trials. Keep him safe. PLATINUM SESSION (11) was less than a length from the winner out of her class last time out. Stick with her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Official Business can win.
