Solid tempo anticipated with Harlequin Field and Island Magic leading the way. AMENOPHIS (6) is a consistent conveyance who has hit the top four in nine of his past ten starts and rarely puts in a poor one. Has placed over this course and distance and maps perfectly for this contest from gate three. Rates the testing material. PROPOSE (11) resumes here but showed enough when last in work to warrant consideration in a race like this. Tuned up for this with a recent trial and can feature while fresh. NEVER GIVE UP (2) has placed at the past couple of outings around this circuit and only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to be playing a role in the outcome. ISLAND MAGIC (10) has placed two from two over this seven-furlong journey and looks one for the exotics players. DEPTH CHARGE (1) makes some appeal with the 3kg claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Amenophis to return to the winners' stall.
