A race that lacks early pressure. AFLOAT (3) was competitive in a two-run debut campaign in the spring and two trials should have him primed. Winning claims. SIESTA (12) has real deal form in four starts and tried hard as favourite first up. Rising in trip must follow. JUAN PABLO (4) fought right to the line on debut at a similar trip. Drawn snug with genuine claims. MAYBE NOW (5) is trained on track and is progressing nicely in just two starts. Poor draw the only knock. CHEEKY DANCER (7) was legless in betting on debut but held her margin late. Up in trip with a soft draw can compete. SUGGESTED PLAY: Afloat each-way.
