Icy Isea and Trebla to set a strong early tempo joined by The Blonde Goddess pushing on from an outside draw. BARRY'S LANE (3) has hit a purple patch of form winning his past two outings including one around this circuit last time out. Winning rider Stanley reunites and no surprise to see his streak continue. STORM FORCE TEN (2) only narrowly went down at the latest effort, gets 1.5kg off with the claim and is drawn to get a cosy run from gate two. Ticks a few boxes. The well-related PLAYFUL KISS (11) (half to G2 winner Victorem) has placed two from four here and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. Top-three commodity. The consistent LEICA BITA FUN (4) has hit the top four in 11 of his past 12 starts and is a must for the exotics players. THE BLONDE GODDESS (10) rounds out the selections. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 3,2,11,4.
