Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Takemetothemoon. PRINCEOFNOTTINGHAM (1) has plenty of weight but is the obvious danger. Took out a BM66 here at this trip two back then struggled on a heavy track in town last time. Loves racing here and looks sure to be right there at the business end. PRINCESS SAKIKO (5) was in the money first-up over 1200m at this track then struggled to make ground over 1400m at Sale most recently. Lightly raced mare who strips fitter and should improve on that last performance. REAL ALLIANCE (4) has struggled all prep but is good enough on her day. One for the exotics in a thin race. GARFIELD (6) might need one more but can improve on a plain first-up effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Princeofnottingham on top.
