Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Rockini. GRUNNETTAN (4) failed to flatter last prep but showed enough to suggest that, with the benefit of that fitness, and in this easier contest he could be a force. Needs a touch of luck but he rates well and can shed the maiden tag this time. IL AMERICANA (11) has been a maiden for a while now but has a few ratings that stack up highly in this race. Drawn well today and if she runs up to that level, she'll be right in the thick of it. TROJAN KING (7) showed enough on debut to suggest he can feature if the breaks go his way. CUBAN DAWN (2) was placed first-up last campaign and strikes a suitable race on resumption this time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Grunnettan can score a maiden win.
