The speedy trio Bardolino, Sound Of The Sea and All About Ronnie can set the pace from the outset. BIG UNIT (4) was given a gun ride when winning his last start over 1400m on this course. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He has won twice and finished second once from four starts on this course. He will strip fitter and can follow up with another victory. INDUSTRIALSTRENGTH (10) was an easy winner when shedding his maiden tag at the second time of asking. He takes on stronger rivals but he has scope and should be well up to the task at hand. SOUND OF THE SEA (2) returns from a spell. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at Kenilworth. Comes here with definite top-three claims. UNICORN ALERT (12) improved last start when second-up but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten only a neck. Suitably placed and has top-three claims.
