Thinking Sensation is expected to lead at a keen tempo. THINKING SENSATION (2) resumed with a nice win in a Coleraine highweight race. This is a bit tougher but he'll kick up from the inside and take catching. CALL ME MAURA (9) has had four runs to date but is showing promise and did win her maiden well here over 1100m. Hard to hold out. MISS TOP GUN (8) hasn't fired of late but this is easier and she can improve onto synthetic for the first time. BATTLE OF THE ICE (4) was poor here last time but can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Thinking Sensation gets the nod.
