Crimmo has enough pace to take up the running from his wide draw in a low-pressure affair. PRINCE EPAULETTE (3) was solid on resumption at Belmont when beaten 1.5L behind a smart one and the form out of that race has been solid. Fitter now and getting out in trip is a big tick. This is an easier race and he can get the job done second-up. LEONARDO DA GREY (1) found one better over 1400m at this track last start when the favourite, beaten 2.6L. He now gets the blinkers on again and Fiore takes the ride. Needs some luck from out wide but it wouldn't surprise to see him flying down the outside in the straight. EXTREME LOVE (2) looks to be hitting peak fitness now and gets the blinkers on again from a good barrier. Disappointing last time out but this looks to shape favourably and she can bounce back to form. CATERAN (4) is better than he showed last start and getting back out in trip looks ideal. DREAM ILLUSION (5) finished off nicely fresh and can improve sharply stepping straight out to the mile. SUGGESTED PLAY: Prince Epaulette looks the one.
