Genuine tempo with the speedy Dukes Spirit leading the way. SPECIAL COUNSEL (3) jumped the race favourite last start and was disappointing after being slowly away. The race wasn't run to suit him with a slow overall time, but his splits from the back were very impressive. Now out to the mile third-up, he can improve sharply and notch up his maiden win. SAVVY RULER (8) resumed with a strong performance over the Ascot mile, returning without a trial. Pike now hops on board replacing the apprentice hoop and she'll no doubt be fitter for the fresh run. Can go one better today without surprising. MISS SANTA CORRS (7) was just fair first-up off a long break before a 1L defeat in an improved effort last start at Ascot. She looks to tick plenty of boxes again today with Carbery on board from a good draw. Can strike third-up. WHO'S TALKING (2) finished nicely at Albany and jumping straight up to this trip is a good push for his chances. SUGGESTED PLAY: Special Counsel can land the knockout blow.
