From the inside gate Storyville has the dash to lead, but Powerpop and Perfect Chant should be right on her heels. PERFECT CHANT (5) was very good from the front on debut at Belmont in Open 3YO company, winning by 0.9L as favourite. Two winners have already come out of that race from 7 starters and she drops right back in grade today. She looks to have plenty of class and can make it two-from-two. CRUISE TO RIO (2) went all the way to the Oaks and Classic last campaign, but she did prove very effective over this trip prior to that. She's still lightly raced with plenty of upside and she has been placed first-up in the past. Expecting her to make her presence felt. STORYVILLE (10) won like a good horse on debut before going under by 0.7L prior to the spell. The race experience will do her the world of good, and she finally draws a barrier today. Trialled around a smart one coming in and she'll go close. PLAY DICE (1) was strong over this track and trip last campaign, including a big run in Listed grade. Must include. RAINLINE (6) looks to have plenty of class about her and has to be included. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Perfect Chant.
