Rainsitpours and Turn Up The Music possess good early speed.
ICED CHOCOLATE (5) shifted to a Victorian stable last preparation and didn't do a bad job with a win and two seconds from four starts. Now moves back to the Vandyke barn and has tuned up for this with two recent trials. Draws the inside marble and can run a big race while fresh. The well-related AGENDA SETTER (1) (half to G2 winner Hidden Motive) placed around this circuit when having the first run for the new yard and gets some weight relief with the 2kg claim. Can play a role in the outcome. MINOR KEY (4) will be rock-hard fit and maps nicely for this from gate three. Top-three contender. REVITUP CHARLIE (11) was a touch plain at the latest effort but the form prior was good enough for a race of this nature. Worth another chance. SHELLY'S ACE (14) next in line from the favourable draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Iced Chocolate.
