Good tempo anticipated with Wine Session and Exquisite Taste leading the way. OLD MATE HENRY (2) has been beaten a whisker at Belmont his last two and keeps improving. Pike sticks from the latest and the blinkers are applied for the first time. He's back after 8 days and can break through. EXQUISITE TASTE (3) is the threat. Comes out of the same race beaten 1.6L when he led. Has the rail and stripping fitter, he will take pegging back. Tougher sorting the remainder. CLASSIC TURN (7) is third up and should be ready to show her best. That form would have her in the frame. DESIGNER LABEL (5) resumed at Northam off a very long break and didn't do a bad job after jumping slowly. Suited to this trip and should be running into it. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Old Mate Henry.
