Expecting Polyvanova to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. POLYVANOVA (1) has been gunned down in the shadows her past couple, finishing 0.5L off the winner at Ascot most recently. She'll be able to roll across and dictate from the front for O'Donnell and the 3kg claim comes in handy. She'll be tough to run down. SAFARI BOY (2) got a long way back last start but finished off well in a close finish, being 1.5L off the winner. Back in trip slightly, though that won't be an issue and he was a good winner when able to sit closer two back. Can be handier again today from the draw and looks the key chance with Faithfull on board. LORDGIVEMESTRENGTH (7) was too far back last start at 1500m after a strong effort from the front here two back. Can be up on the speed again this time around and a bold showing is on the cards. SKY GOD (5) finally draws a good gate and should get every chance out to this trip. HOT CHATTER (8) can be in the mix stepping out in trip today. SUGGESTED PLAY: Polyvanova looks the one to beat.
