Without an obvious leader, it may be left to Bella Luce, Dimaggio and Purple Prose to control the tempo. PURPLE PROSE (4) has found her best form on this surface, and she finished third here 2 weeks ago when chasing a hat-trick of wins. She maps to receive the run of the race from the pole position, and she should be right in the finish again. Follow your money. QUEEN OF NAPLES (7) did not finish her race off as expected here last time out, and she may find a more genuine tempo this time. She is a progressive type, who can bounce straight back into the money here. Each way. DIMAGGIO (1) finished a game fifth in the same race as the third pick, and he is always a top 4 hope at this level. Include. DELMONICO (5) is another honest gelding who is also capable of figuring in the finish. BELLA LUCE (2) led all the way here last start. Stick with her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Queen Of Naples each way.
