Pace strong with Golden Pierro and Gardenzio leading with Scoundrel nearby. GARDENZIO (1) finds a big weight third up but has an impressive record at this trip. Expected to race handy despite a wide draw and can produce a stronger result. CANNY QUEEN (5) finds five kilos less after the claim and comes via two genuine runs over seven furlongs. Progressive filly that’s hard to ignore. BUBA (9) can’t catch a quiet draw this time in but keeps running handy races in similar company. Edging towards another win and any give in the track will help. GOLDEN PIERRO (2) could easily run a cheeky race fresh over a mile. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Gardenzio.
