Infanta and Miracle Mickey will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. ANALECTA (6) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish second. Should strip fitter. Winning chance. VIKEN (9) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 0.8 lengths at this course and distance. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three outings. Sure to go well again. MIRACLE MICKEY (11) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign at this track and trip. Has ability and should be right in the finish. PRIME BLUE (8) drops from JRA level and is much better placed having recorded three wins and a placing in four previous attempts here.
