Plenty of pressure from Starburst, Tennessee Spirit and Frose battling for the lead over El Salto. STARBURST (5) looks a nice chance. She's a handy mare who scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 1.75 lengths over 1100m at this track as favourite. Still lightly raced and will be very hard to run down once more. MARGIN CALL (1) ran a good race last start to finish third over 1200m at this track. Back to 1000m looks to suit and he'll be rattling home with even luck. ETERNAL JOY (12) has been solid since a maiden win over this route three back. She was behind Starburst two back but wasn't beaten far and sets up well here. YOLO (3) returns from a spell of four-and-a-half months and tackles a synthetic track for the first time. He promised a bit early and could be an improver this time around. SUGGESTED PLAY: Starburst to win.
