Nunkeri should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. COLONEL BOGEY (2) has been in great form this campaign and given a let-up after a win here last time. Newitt aboard and has trialled well since. Expected to measure up again. CITY WOK (1) was a strong maiden winner fresh and can only be fitter. Has upside and worth following up. NUNKERI (5) was a narrow fourth two back then ran on well to place last time. Best form is here and drawn ideally this time. Close to a win and sure to prove hard to beat. BELLA CHINKARA (7) is ready to fire after two runs back. Has the ability and a bold showing is expected. LITTLE EL (3) is trialling well and everything points to a bright return. SUGGESTED PLAY: Stick with Colonel Bogey.
