Expecting a strong gallop with She Rex and Southern Monarch taking up the running over Fiabesca. SHE REX (10) was a smart maiden winner two back at Bordertown, then followed it up with a solid midfield finish in town last time. Has found form and rates strongly back to this level. FULL COMMITMENT (14) chased Southern Monarch gamely into second when resuming last time. Strips fitter and gets a good swing at the weights over the winner. Can go one better. SOUTHERN MONARCH (5) showed good tactical speed to lead them up at the latest and found plenty when challenged to hold them off and score. Carries more weight this time but is still on the up and should be right there again. FIABESCA (13) turned in a much stronger showing last time when sent forward here, only to just miss the bob in a blanket finish. Strips rock-hard fit now and keeps Milnes. Have to include. SUGGESTED PLAY: She Rex just over Full Commitment.
