Power Star and King Bavarian to set a strong tempo, joined by Gardener's Pride pushing on. Good race. SWEETER THAN HONEY (2) lifted strongly to score this class last time. Has a good record this course and distance no reason she cannot salute again. KING BAVARIAN (3) turned in a good run last time to place but meets winner worse at the weights. Senior rider on though and has good early pace. Take catching. PIED PIPER (9) was thereabouts last time over a mile. Has enough pace to lead these. Give a sight over the longer journey. COUNCILLOR (11) was having just third start and scored a nice maiden win latest and has good upside. Can measure up again.
