A solid tempo on the cards with Parch heading them off.
ROCK THE SUNRISE (2) saves his best form for this distance range with two wins and two placings from six attempts and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside marble. Looks all set to run well for the new yard. The well-related SHE'S A BEAUTY (4) (half to 2xG2 winner and 3xG1 placed Barb Raider) is yet to miss a drum in four spins around this circuit and has been a model of consistency this time in work. Watch for her hitting the line late. PARCH (3) has placed two of three over this trip and rarely puts in a poor one. Top-three credentials. KIRIKAN (1) doesn't win out of turn but is usually thereabouts and is a must for the exotics players. TORANAGA (8) next in line on the back of a last-start maiden win over this course and distance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 2,4,3,1.
