Solid pace from Lord Of Penno fending off pressure from other on-pacers engaged. DEER HUNTER (1) put in a career-best performance when second here last time out and the extra furlong should suit. Gets the services of Wiggins in the irons and will give this a mighty shake. RATALOUIE (4) will strip fitter third-up from the break and is drawn to get a cosy run in transit from gate two. Right in the mix. KAISA (6) showed improvement in her first run for the new stable at the latest effort and rates a definite top-three contender on that form. SIRENE ROUGE (11) has placed two of three this time in and cannot be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Deer Hunter to win.
