Plenty of speed from Sassy Boom and Capper Thirtynine. CAPPER THIRTYNINE (13) sat on pace in a strongly run race before tailing off to run third in a respectable performance. He's ready to peak now, third up in the preparation. YOSHINOBU (6) failed on heavy going last start and can atone for that effort on a better track. He'll roll forward and will give a bold showing. KEEP YOUR COOL (11) improved to finish third at The Valley last week and presents on the quick back up in this. Suitably placed, expect a good run. JENNI THE FOX (15) resumed with a good run over a shorter distance than what she's suited over. Her form reads well, and she can be a major player in this race. SASSY BOOM (12) can roll forward in this race and give a sight for her backers. SUGGESTED PLAY: Capper Thirtynine is a bet.
