Good pace from Burning Man, Mexican Pete and Rainbow Reward. FRENCH FLAME (3) was doing his best work late when fourth over 1600m on this course last time. He has won once and finished third twice from five starts over this distance. He would have come on from his last outing and should strip much fitter. He gets the blinkers fitted for the first time which may do the trick. If keeping on a straight line, he should be the horse to beat. SAVANTRIX (6) is the stable companion of the top selection. He resumes from a spell which may have done him the world of good. Has each-way claims. KITCHAKAL (2) resumes from a spell and has fair recent form lines to his name. He is likely to be settled near the rear of the field and will be mowing down the frontrunners. RAINBOW REWARD (9) was squeezed leaving the start last time, but stayed on well to finish sixth. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. With a bit of luck in the running should be fighting out the finish.
