Genuine tempo with the speedy El Ultimo leading the way. SWAY UP (3) was a beaten favourite on the poly track here last time out in an amateur riders' race. His form before that was solid, and he can make amends in this. OUR MILLY BEE (4) has found it hard to win another race, but is racing well enough in similar fields, including finishing close up in fourth place here 3 weeks ago as favourite. Vinnie Colgan picks up the ride, and the pair merits healthy respect. EL ULTIMO (2) has turned a corner with his form over a middle distance recently. He is likely to put himself in the right place early on and can figure in the top 3 again. CAN'T KACH ME (5) made up a lot of late ground from well back here 3 weeks ago, finishing fourth. She has Opie Bosson in the saddle this time and should not be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Can't Catch Me for each-way players.
