Can't see them going very hard with a lack of any real speed horses. EXQUISITE TASTE (3) resumes and showed promise at Scarpside on debut. He just missed in a recent Lark Hill trial and will be naturally improved. Jumps for an inside gate and in-form CJP sticking aboard is a positive. FLAMING RONDA (7) won a Belmont trial and was only beaten 1.9L at Belmont on debut. Presents fitter and has the blinkers on today. Winning claims. MOONSHINE QUEEN (13) debuts and has trialled well enough. Maps well with Faithfull engaged and she's riding plenty of winners. The betting will be key. GALILEA (5) worked into a place here second-up and has more up her sleeve. She's running out of chances but can't be ruled out with the extra fitness. SUGGESTED PLAY: Exquisite Taste appeals most.
