Pace looks sure to be genuine with Okesutora and Hasta La Prince matching motors, closely followed by Savvy Thinker. NO MATTER WHAT (11) was a pass mark when resuming then went close when beaten just over half-a-length second up. Fitter for those two runs and looks even more suited up to this trip now. OKESUTORA (8) ran well at his first three runs this time in at around a mile then improved last time out up to 2000m. Should be at peak fitness for this and the jockey has options from the draw. EYES TO ME (2) hinted he was in for a good prep with a good first-up run but got no favours at the barrier draw. BALTIC WAY (1) has some ground to make up on Okesutora from their last start but is a consistent type who has drawn well. SUGGESTED PLAY: No Matter What to win.
