Expecting a strong pace headed by Bourbon Reserve, Bright And Brazen and Blushing Bloom. TOP DIVISION (3) followed up his debut victory with a good second-place finish over this course and distance. He may have cost himself winning last time as he hung between the 500m mark and 350m mark. He looks to have ability and may be the one to side with. THE LAST DUKE (2) showed good improvement when winning his maiden at the second time of asking. He is a progressive type and should pose a massive threat. BRIGHT AND BRAZEN (6) followed up her maiden victory with a good second-place finish over 1400m on the Standside course. She won her maiden over this course and distance. She has plenty of scope and should give the males a run for their money. BOURBON RESERVE (1) produced a typical second run after a spell last time. He gets the blinkers fitted which may keep his mind on the task at hand. From pole position, he would not be a shock winner.
