It's likely to be tactical given scant early speed. TSUKINO (10) only went down by a narrow margin over this course and distance last time out and is drawn to get a cosy run in transit from gate three. Will be at peak fitness for this and another bold showing is expected. VICTORY'S GHOST (3) has been right there in all three runs this preparation, draws favourably and gets some weight off with the 2kg claim. Ticks a few boxes. UNCLE BUD (8) has placed two of four around this circuit and rates a top-three commodity on best form. READY TO MINGLE (11) has hit the top-five at her past five outings and looks one for the multiples. The well-related RHODES (5) (half to G2 winner and G1 placed Paximadia) next in line while fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tsukino to go one better.
