Abundant pace from Boomshanka, Tinkerbella and Milestone vying for the lead with Earn To Burn on their backs. Very open. IMPERVIOUS (3) looked good winning at Ipswich on debut before two solid placings in town. Was then tipped out for further time to furnish and has since tuned up for this with two handy trials. Shapes as a key runner while fresh. BOOMSHANKA (5) has been well in the betting in all three starts to date and where there's smoke there's fire. Strips fitter second-up and looks a strong chance to break through. EARN TO BURN (1) is a bit of a hit or miss type but got the job done last time out and winning hoop Dempsey sticks. Can give this a mighty shake. MILESTONE (9) wasn't disgraced in Listed company before the spell and should find this task a touch easier. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Impervious to return a winner.
