Genuine pace with Great Fortune taking up the running ahead of Hang Glider and Siberian Siren. LOVA SESSION (7) was too good at this track and trip two back off a slow tempo before slipping his rivals too much rope most recently. Back to the scene of the crime now and Pike remains in the saddle. Likely to be well back on straightening but he has the turn-of-foot to come over the top. GREAT FORTUNE (6) doesn't have the best fresh record, but his form to end last campaign says he's in with a chance. Suspect he's been set for a first-up assault on a feature day and he'll give a bold sight from the front. COUNT THE SESSIONS (4) is better than he showed last start and has been freshened coming into this. Gets a big tick with CJP back in the saddle and the inside draw can see him well positioned. He can land the knockout blow. DEFERRED (5) is hard to knock on recent form and is likely to be in the finish again. SIBERIAN SIREN (1) can roll forward from the inside and dictate from the front. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lova Session gets the nod.
