GOING: G(3)

Sunlight Classic 1100m Track: GOOD 3 Clouds (Max: 24) Rail: True Entire Circuit.
This will be a keen early contest, with Title Fighter and Excess prominent. ESTRIELLA (13) has simply come back a better filly this preparation, winning both starts well. She showed good adaptability to lead here last start and was soft late. If anything, back to 1100m looks a positive and she's got plenty of options from the draw. Keen on her again. HEDGED (6) won well here first-up. Didn't beat the strongest field but the pieces are there to suggest he'll measure up. I AM UNSTOPPABLE (2) was poor first up in the G1 Lightning. Much better suited here and we did see Cylinder win the Newmarket off a poor Lightning run. STRETAN ANGEL (3) is a good filly with form around the right types last preparation. Right in this. HANCHI (5) perhaps next best. SUGGESTED PLAY: Estriella to win again.
