Moderate pace from Free To Fly taking it up with Shimmery Star and Flag High on her back. FREE TO FLY (8) is racing well this campaign without winning, sitting handy and finishing 1.8L off the winner as the race favourite. Steps out to 1500m for the first time and she has enough early speed to offset the tricky barrier. At her peak now and can get the job done. MISS SANTA CORRS (5) flew home from the back of the pack to miss by 2.7L after a year-long break. Drawn much better now and she'll be better for that performance. Can sit much closer this time around and with improvement on the cards, she can put her best foot forward. ANGEL LIKE YOU (6) gets Pike in the saddle today after getting a mile back at Belmont last time out from a wide gate. Can land much closer this time around and she can bounce back to her best form. GANAJI WANGKATHE (1) has shown enough in his first two starts to suggest he can feature in this tougher assignment. SHIMMERY STAR (12) ticks a few boxes today and she can put her best foot forward. SUGGESTED PLAY: Free To Fly looks the one to beat.
