Dolce D'amour has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. DOLCE D'AMOUR (3) was run down and beaten in a photo here last time behind Bodmin Boy. Kept fresh and meets the winner better at the wrights. Can turn the tables. STARTON (4) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second at this track over 1600m. Has a decent record at this trip with five minor placings from six tries and should be in the finish. BODMIN BOY (1) finished third last start over 1600m at this track when he made late ground, beaten 6 lengths. Winner this trip the start prior. Can bounce back. MI MIJO (6) is yet to win fresh but expected to run well. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dolce D'amour should go close.
