Hot pace certain with Brilliant Melody, Potestas and Iknowyou keen to take up the running.
CROWN REACH (4) loves it here around this circuit with two wins and a second from just three spins and will be at peak fitness now third-up from the spell. Has a handy association with jockey Missen and should be going very close again. The penny has dropped for IKNOWYOU (6) who has put back-to-back wins together and is sure to be high on confidence now. Can continue the winning run. MOUNT MARGARET (12) has placed two from two over this course and distance and rarely puts in a poor one. Top-three credentials. BONNET ROUGE (8) is having her first run for the new stable but will find this easier than what she's been contesting. Can run a big race while fresh. POTESTAS (9) is a last-start winner who shouldn't be slept on. SUGGESTED PLAY: Crown Reach to salute.
