Couldbetracy and One Way Ride will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. WHEREWITHAL (11) made a solid debut over 1300m early in the year when placed and was put away again. Trained here and drawn to be stalking throughout. Fitter for three jump-outs and looks ideally placed here fresh. NOSTRO ROCCIA (12) was well in the market on debut and gave a good account, finishing fourth. Newitt goes on and drawn for a cosy run on the inside. The blinkers go on and can continue to improve. SECRET FORTUNE (8) was strongly fancied at first outing and finished midfield. Extra trip a big plus and looks one of the leading hopes. ONE WAY RIDE (7) ran a much improved race last time and looks well placed off the low draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Wherewithal.
