Plenty of pace likely from Viale, Bold Artic and Alpha Bravo battling for the lead from Booming Bianca. DEVINE FORCE (3) is a bit of a hit or miss galloper but is more than capable on his day. Strips fitter second-up from the break and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside alley. Should be right there when the whips are cracking. ALPHA BRAVO (2) has placed two of three around this circuit and will be rock-hard fit for this. Among the leading hopes. The well-related SOCRAZYINLOVE (8) (half to G3 winner and G2 placed Miss Roseiano) is first-up here but the form she showed in her first preparation was good enough to feature in a race like this. Can play a role while fresh. BENGAL DIAMOND (10) strips fitter fourth-up, gets some weight off with the claim and draws low. Ticks a few boxes. VIALE (11) next in line from the astute barn. SUGGESTED PLAY: Devine Force to return to the winners' stall.
