Pace looks sure to be genuine with West Coast Warrior and Storm Commander matching motors, closely followed by Northern Ivy. DANCING CHOOSE (9) boasts a strong record at this track and trip, winning over here first-up with ease after settling well back in the run. He'll be fitter for that effort and this looks to shape similarly. Hard to go past him on what he produced first-up. SNIPPERANDO (3) was building nicely last campaign before tackling the Belmont Guineas prior to the spell. She's since moved to the Harding stable, but the 1300m journey looks ideal fresh and she maps for a good run. Can make her presence felt first up. WEST COAST WARRIOR (2) is another who lines up here on resumption and ended last campaign in hot form, jumping favourite in his past four starts. May need some luck from the barrier, but if he can pick up from where he left off, he'll be right in this. PRIZED JEWEL (5) finished off strongly first-up but looks an improver with Faithfull in the saddle. VENTURO (6) is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dancing Choose can repeat the dose.
