Genuine tempo from Detoron leading Singing Duke. SPECIAL SPOT (5) should be at peak fitness now after three runs back and this is clearly the most winnable race he's struck this time in. RHINESTONE RORY (3) has been performing well across the border and connections have found the right race here. DETORON (6) is being tested at a new distance today but was good last start. OCOTILLO (2) should relish the trip, being by Fiorente, and gets best chance to get into the placings. SCODELARIO (8) finds the right race to be a place chance again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Special Spot goes on top.
