A solid tempo on the cards with Major Beel taking charge. ZOUGOTCHA (7) will get map favours again after looking the winner 100m out when resuming with a narrow second in the G1 Winx Stakes over 1400m here on August 24. Fitted with a recent trial and no shock to see her go one better today. FANGIRL (6) started a solid fav on resumption when dragged back early from the wide gate before launching late with a tenacious third to Via Sistina in the G1 Winx Stakes here. Kept up to the mark with a 1000m trial and will prove hard to hold out. DETONATOR JACK (2) proven miler who looks set for a good prep after sitting on the fast tempo when a close fifth over 1400m in the G1 Winx Stakes at this track. Gets a similar set up here and not without genuine each-way claims. HINGED (8) much better performance at second run back when just failing to pick up Buckaroo when a narrow second over 1600m here in the G2 Chelmsford on September 7. Rawiller sticks and can take a hand in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Zougotcha each-way.
