Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 18)    

Many of these have the speed to be prominent so a genuine tempo is anticipated. FAIZAH (1) ran on from last when fifth over this course and distance last start when resuming from a spell. She has won twice, finished second once and third once from nine starts on this course. She would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. From pole position can notch up her fourth-career victory. ALPHABETTY(8) ran a good race when third over this course and distance last time when fresh-up from a spell. She would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. FIREBURST (2) finished second of 10 in her penultimate run over this course and distance. Craig Zackey steps back into the saddle and she merits healthy respect. GREENLITEALLTHEWAY (3) stayed on well when fourth of 10 over 1400m on this course last time. She has won once, finished second once and third twice from as many starts over this distance. She will be storming home late and is well worth a second look.
