Strong early tempo with Zoe Shark driving forward from an outside gate. ICONIC TREASURE (3) is making sharp inroads this campaign and looked right at home in slightly lesser grade last start. Maintains a big weight but with his best draw this time in not tempted to jump off. RIP OFF (9) got rolled as favourite last start but her form this time in is progressive. Stays at her right trip and rates a genuine threat to bounce back. DENMAN STAR (2) has returned in terrific order this campaign and is well placed to play another major role. FUGITIVA (7) is also going too good to ignore as she shoots for the hat-trick. Have to include. SUGGESTED PLAY: Slight lean to Iconic Treasure.
