A hot tempo is expected with plenty of speed engaged. ASIYE PHAMBILI (10) moved up well before getting outrun late in what was her first run this prep. She will strip much fitter. Sean Veale retains the ride and he will be looking to make amends. MIA MOO (8) is a winner of her last two starts.The daughter of Vercingetorix has found a new lease of life and she can bring up the hat-trick. CHASING HAPPINESS (6) won a good race last time. She has won three times, finished second once and third once from as many starts over this distance. S'manga Khumalo retains the ride and she would not be a shock winner.
DOUBLE GRAND SLAM (1) showed good speed last time when finishing a nose from the winner at Kenilworth. Resumes from a spell and having won fresh-up previously rates well as a leading chance.
