France's Boy should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. Tricky race. WIND RUSH (6) has been knocking on the door throughout this prep and while he hasn't won for a long time he's found a good race for him to break the run of outs. Pannell should have him blending at just the right time. ANNIHILATE (3) continues to leave himself with too much to do but does possess a strong turn of foot on his day. Will drift back from the draw and with a decent tempo he could cause a late scare again. SWYCHO (9) went amiss here last time but was good in both runs prior when missing by bare margins. Willing to forgive a bad run. Can't knock the form of HARD LEAF (1) but this is clearly harder. STOLEN KISS (14) hasn't been far away of late and deserves respect. SUGGESTED PLAY: Siding with Wind Rush.
