Belle Adele and Apolline will tussle for the early lead in the small field. All but one are from the Chillemi yard. HIGHER REALM (2) comes to peak seeking the hat-trick off big wins. Gets weight relief under the race conditions and will take beating again. ROBIG (4) won the Open 3 here by a space getting back to his best. Goes wet and dry and will be will be very competitive. TENNESSEE BOY (5) brings a string of wins and has more to offer second-up. Looks to get the best run. APOLLINE (6) is an improver and is in the mix at s price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Higher Realm to win.
