Favourite Songs and River Angel should set a strong gallop. RIVER ANGEL (7) sat up on the speed first-up and was too good at this track and trip, winning by 0.4L as the race favourite. The form out of that has worked out well and she still looks to have plenty of upside. Fitter now and with Pike sticking, she can repeat the dose. FAVOURITE SONGS (4) is a speedy customer on resumption having trialled well recently in readiness. She was tested in stronger company last campaign where she wasn't disgraced two back, before winning as an odds-on pop to break her maiden. Needs some luck from out wide, but she'll give a big sight if she can roll across. ART SESSION (1) comes right back in grade today after placing in Saturday company most recently. He was a big winner two back and the 3kg claim comes in handy. Ticks a few boxes and can make his presence felt. ELLICAZAM (3) won well on debut and has trialled nicely coming into this. Can fire first-up again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with River Angel on top.
