Plenty of pace evident with Photosynthesis and Celebrity Angel leading the way from Racy Rascal and Wego One Wego All. HIMIZU (9) is a four-start maiden with form far better than it looks. Raced in open class at Ascot, resumed with a good second at Pinjarra Scarpside then was midfield back at Ascot last time. This is her easiest assignment of her career so far and looks ready to get off the mark. PHOTOSYNTHESIS (11)will also find this more suitable than her two runs to date. Close-up fifth at Ascot on debut then was a tiring seventh but not too far from the winning at Pinjarra Scarpside. Has upside and this is easier. Will give a sight. BANGALONG (8) finished just ahead of Photosynthesis in the same race. That was first run for nine months so will strip much fitter. Can improve sharply. KENTUCKY DRIVE (10) placed here two back and looks a major player on best form. CELEBRITY ANGEL (12) will find this much easier and can improve sharply. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stay with Himizu.
