Reasonable tempo with Nikody's Diego probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. JO JO SUN (9) did some work from a wide gate then tried hard but found The Lupercal too strong over this course and distance a fortnight ago. Draws a far better alley today and looks a big chance to turn the tables. LAUNCH SEQUENCE (5) has contested three five-furlong sprints this prep and been competitive each time, the latest at this track when he made good late inroads. Crying out for this distance now. THE LUPERCAL (2) took charge a long way out and went right on with the job here at this trip last time. Only goes up 1kg after the claim so a repeat is on the cards. SAVILLE STREET (4) will find this easier than recent assignments and can improve. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Jo Jo Sun.
