The lack of early speed may see Triple Jay find the lead. The feature of the day and TRIPLE JAY (5) looks the one to beat again. He came from nowhere to win last start as favourite and drops back to his preferred track and trip today. He ticks plenty of boxes with Pike riding from an inside alley and he drops in weight. He can extend his winning streak. SALOON BAR (7) was terrible in the Idyllic Prince last start but didn't handle the heavy going, sitting out the back throughout. He gets in at the bottom of the weights today and a firmer surface is expected with Steve Parnham reuniting with the gelding. Drawn well and can flip his form right around. VAST ART (8) is ready to peak now following a strong run in the Idyllic Prince last time out, beaten 2.9L. CJP rides now and he gets a nice pull in the weights. Watch for him flashing late. MAGNIFICENT ANDY (1) is the class horse of the field and boasts a strong fresh record. GINGER BAKER (2) was good from the front last start and usually improves with a run under the belt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Triple Jay can win again.
