Good early pressure with Celestial Blaze or Sir Winnie likely to take up the running. The penny has dropped for SIR WINNIE (13) who has strung three wins together on the bounce with rider Jones being in the saddle for all three victories. Looks to have plenty of upside and should be there at the business end. CELESTIAL BLAZE (14) hasn't been too far away in recent efforts and will be cherry-ripe fit for this. Looms as the main danger. RAMP IT UP (9) saves his best form for this mile journey and only needs some luck navigating from the sticky draw to be playing a major role in the finish. ECLAIR AWESOME (6) has only missed a drum once in six attempts over this distance range and is a must for the exotics players. The well-related CAVALRY MAN (3) (half to G2 winner Positive Peace) next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Sir Winnie to salute again.
