They look to roll along early with Lennox and Justifiably leading the charge. WHISKER TO WHISKER (8) was solid in similar grade last start after a month off. Will run the trip and should test this lot with a plum draw. TWILIGHT ELEGANCE (4) goes class rise weight rise into this but is a promising staying prospect. Fitter again with obvious claims. JUSTIFIABLY (6) is back to near best and a firmer footing brings him into bang for your buck territory. LENNOX (1) looked to have every chance last start but does have the right grounding for this trip. Will be boxing on late. MAIRE DE PARIS (7) found the right race in testing conditions last start but will need further improvement up in grade. SUGGESTED PLAY: Whisker To Whisker win.
