Expecting a solid pace primarily from Wild Beau. FROM THE BLOCK (8) was rock-solid in his first prep for the Jollys after arriving from Hong Kong and looks to have come back in terrific order. Draws perfectly and can return with a bang. PURE BLISS (10) resumes for a new stable and will appreciate a strong early tempo over her preferred track and trip. Milnes reunites and the pair have a good association. DECLARED (2) was a strong winner fresh and hasn’t done much wrong since. He was stuck on the inferior going last time when just missing the frame. Gets in well with the claim and should be right there again. Don’t underestimate. ENUFF SEDUCTION (1) was ridden closer first up and didn’t finish off, so expect them to be more patient today. He can burst through late if ridden cold. BRISTLER (4) will push forward and give supporters another sight. SUGGESTED PLAY: From The Block on top.
