Strong early tempo with Ceuta and Warning Sound leading the way. CEUTA (2) is a lightly raced mare who went to the break in great form. Has placed both starts when fresh and boasts a strong record at course and distance. Looks well placed here fresh. KISSHOTEN (4) is a super consistent type in great form, winning by a space two back then a close second here last time. Expected to take catching off the low draw. IT'S HER WAY (6) went to the break in career best form, winning three of last four runs. Trip suits and bold showing on the cards. ACROSS THE POND (5) turned in an eye catching run second-up when coming from last into third. Won only try third-up. Looks ready to win.
