Reasonable tempo with Loose Knickers probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. DANIELLISH (7) is probably not strong enough yet to cope with a middle distance, and she will be suited dropping back to 1600m here. If the track is wet, then she is capable of grinding out a win here. LETHAL ROC (8) will be peaking third up, and she will relish stepping out to 1600m for the first time in her career. If the inside part of the track is playing fair, then she can figure in the top 3. LATER BOY (6) has been trying to win a race for some time, and her second at Ashburton 11 days ago is good enough form for her to win a race like this. SCAMPER (10) raced greenly at Ascot Park last time out, and that run is best overlooked. She has a good gate, and she is worth another chance in this. SUSPECT OR VICTIM (5) was a beaten favourite last time out over 2215m, and she may be better over this trip for now. Follow your money. Each way. STROBE LIGHT (1) has the form on the board, and he is well worth each-way consideration in a field like this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Daniellish each way.
