Pace looks sure to be genuine with Lightening Mann and My Roca Fella matching motors, closely followed by Just Jenni. JUST JENNI (8) goes on top. She's a handy mare who is building a nice little record, notching up her second career win last start at Cranbourne with a soft victory, scoring by 1.75 lengths. Tackles a fairly similar field here and loses nothing with the inform Jett Stanley taking over. Well fancied to repeat the dose. LIGHTENING MANN (1) is worth keeping an eye on. He was last seen tackling the King George Stakes at Royal Ascot which is usually a very strong 3yo form race. Didn't measure up there but kicking off at this trip suggests intent. SPARKLE LINK (10) did enough first up at Sandown Lakeside over 1600m and should come on from that for the suitable rise in trip. ARISTONOUS (3) got home well at Sale first up to just miss. He's always had ability and the new stable might be getting him back to his best. MY ROCA FELLA (4) was behind Just Jenni last time and has claims again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Just Jenni to win.
