Solid tempo with King Adviso leading from Mean Feat and Pennies Galore. PERFECT CHANT (5) resumes and was beaten 1.4L in Stakes grade first up last preparation. She brings a comfortable Lark Hill trial win and Chris Parnham continues his association with the filly. She has the inside barrier and plenty of scope for improvement. The one to beat. MAI ALOHA (8) resumes and is the threat. She's also raced well at Stakes level and will be naturally improved. She's tuned up with a nose defeat in a Lark Hill trial and Pike sticks from that. The gun hoop is particularly lethal when he links with the Williams stable. MILLSTEE (10) was nudged out here this grade/trip, spiking her figures. She settled back and had to cover ground, so there was plenty of merit in the performance. She's up and running, and stripping fitter will provide plenty of competition to the above pair. HEY PINO (7) did a good job making the quinella here first up. Strips fitter and always puts in. SUGGESTED PLAY: Perfect Chant appeals most.
