|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Strong tempo with De Vlugge, Trail Runner and Fascination leading the way. CELESTIAL DIAMOND (9) has produced two good runs to date. She finished second over this course and distance last time. She is a progressive type and in this field, she can go one better. LUCIENNE (16) found one too good on the day last time. She returns from a spell during which time she would have strengthened up. If not in need of the run, she should throw out a big challenge to the top choice. TRAIL RUNNER (5) returns from a spell. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride, and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her when it matters most. CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT (1) stayed on well when third over this course and distance last start when on debut. She would have come on from the run and has each-way claims.
