Solid tempo anticipated with Wheeling taking charge. Small field but hot pace and high on quality. Hard to go past the run of SILVER DAGGER (6) when fresh in the Newmarket. Got back and closed hard finishing a close-up fourth behind Durazzo and will find this far easier. Won only start course and distance and will be the toughest to hold out. IN THE OCEAN (1) was a winner fresh then was caught wide throughout in the Newmarket. Has a superb record this course and distance and fitter again looks the danger. JAGUAR STONE (4) is fitter for two runs in, placing at both, and looks ready to win. Has placed 3/3 this course and distance and with good speed will take catching. MS TASMANIA (5) resumed in this class after a long spell and gave a sight but found one better. Strong record course and distance and will be in this for a long way. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Silver Dagger.
