A pedestrian gallop without a recognised on-pacer engaged. SANIKA (5) has gone close in her last two over similar trips and should be peaking now. Draws to get the gun run and will be poised when they quicken. Big threat. CLISTE (9) drove hard to arrive just in time and shed her maiden tag last start. This is tougher but she is capable of another big run and the booking of Milnes signals confidence. HIT THE SLOPES (2) has been mixing his form but boasts peaks that measure up. Likely to drift back from the draw and be saved for the final shot at them. Similarly, YOUBEEFORTY (7) struggles to put two good runs together but is another worth watching for late in the piece. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sanika to win.
