A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. COSMO RULER (13) was sound on debut when closing soundly to be 3.6L off the winner. She went like a rocket in her latest trial when the blinkers went on and they stay on for her return today. Likely to sit off them in the run, but watch for her flying late in the race. ARTICOLE (4) jumped favourite in both runs to date, beaten less than a length in both efforts. He looks as though he's in similar form for his return judging by his trials coming in. Wouldn't surprise to see him return with a bang. RARE HONOR (2) finished off strongly on resumption here 17 days ago and looks in for a good campaign. Should be fitter for that effort off a break and can be there at the finish. FILA MIA (10) is racing in good order and can't be left out of calculations from a good draw. WATTO'S WARRIOR (3) is not to be discounted. SUGGESTED PLAY: Cosmo Ruler makes the most appeal.
