Quik Rhapid and Lonely One should set a strong gallop. THISISMYTURF (2) gets his chance to win back here. He has had one go at this course and won it last Spring. Likely has similar conditions to then and will be at peak fitness too. Must go close. GRASSMERE DIAMOND (4) has been in excellent form through her career. She will race on the pace and prove hard to run down. MISO (1) drops back from running in metro company. Has to find this more suitable and the claim helps. QUIK RHAPID (3) will find itself right at the front of proceedings. Does go best for today's rider. HOT FLUSH (5) probably pushes forward as well. Had three trials to be ready to go. SUGGESTED PLAY: Thisismyturf might just get last call on the leaders.
