Expecting Divine Bene to take up the running with Patyep and I Loverain close at hand. Wide open with most struggling to find their best. Take away last run and I LOVERAIN (3) would be a hot favourite but last time turned in an uncharacteristic run when safely held here as favourite. Rates highly on best form here and well worth another chance. PLEASING SMILE (7) is still a maiden but is going well without winning. Not far away behind Bruno Bruno last time who is in the first race. The start prior was placed behind Patyep who he meets again today. Will be winding up strongly. PATYEP (5) got off the mark with a maiden win two back then raced on speed in a tougher race last time. This is easier and will take running down. ANKLE ROLEX (6) is better than the last start suggests and comes back in trip. ITWASONLYAKISS (2) rates well on best and deserves another chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: I Loverain can atone.
