Moderate pace with Audenzia taking up the running ahead of Swag and So Long Farewell. SO LONG FAREWELL (3) arguably delivered the run of the meeting last start. Drawn well and smiles at a mile third up. WEST HEAD (6) retains a cool-headed hoop after chewing up turf late at this track last start. Third up it's now or never. CHARLEROI (1) paid no dividends as favourite second up but stuck on like a mile type. Despite the top weight can hit back. WALK THE PIER (5) only got warm late first up in a strong race. Still can’t catch an alley but looks almost prime now. SWAG (9) tackles older horses but recent form hard to fault. SUGGESTED PLAY: So Long Farewell win.
