Hit The Floor, Irithea and Sepae have all drawn nicely and should take full advantage of that and lead here. Speed comes straight off the inside gates here with Irithea, Longchamp Lass, and Sepae all possessing tactical tempo. IRITHEA has been placed in both starts to date for the strong Baker stable and has proven her on pace credentials in both. Drawn to advantage over this trip and form lines read well enough. Comes out on top here. WHO'S A STAR looks better graded here than recent runs where he has finished close up despite not threatening. Could be suited by a strong tempo and after three runs this campaign should have plenty of weaponry to unload. Well worth including now. HIT THE FLOOR needs further but has shown promise in six starts to date. Has run on strongly in two recent trials and looking for more of the same first up from a spell. Sepae went well when resuming in a top four result and with the lightweight and could give plenty of cheek from an on pace role. whilst SEPAE fitter now with no weight can figure. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tough race with plenty of hopes, playing the exotics with Irithea, Hit The Floor, Sepae and Longchamp Lass.
