Speed assured from Blue Special, Titan Rising and Bonsa Big Boy pressing on ahead of Divine Fire. BLUE SPECIAL (3) is quirky but he's racing well and looks well-placed to continue his rise through the ranks here. Murtagh sticks and he's drawn a lovely gate to get all the favours in the run. He can win again. FLYWAY (4) was placed in a stronger city race last time and looks hard to beat back to this class. His best form is at this track and distance so suspect he can run well again. DIVINE FIRE (1) is a quality mare on her day and, while her form this campaign is only fair, she may be able to improve in an easier assignment. THINK TANK (7) might be on the cusp of another win and will be fitter third-up, while TITAN RISING (6) is another that can run in the minor money if things go his way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Blue Special each-way.
