Track: GOOD4   Clouds (Max: 26)   Rail: +7m Entire Course..  

King Spirit is the probable leader in the small field. OOHLALOUVRE (7) has hit a purple patch this time in with a win and two seconds from three outings. Maps for a beautiful run once again from the draw and will find this a touch easier than her most recent outing at this track and trip. Hard to knock mares in form and is expected to be right there at the business end. TAKE A BOW (2) loves this track and trip with two wins and a placing from just four attempts. Genuine top-three prospects. SILK SONIC (8) has only missed a drum once in six career efforts and is usually thereabouts. One for the exotics players. KING SPIRIT (1) next best with the claim. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning towards Oohlalouvre.
