Prestissimo and Illusion Of Paris can burn across from wide out and set a strong tempo. TIVACI'S AFFAIR (8) is in the same class here as her last start win. After a 3kg claim she can win again in this for sure. MALACHY (6) missed at last start but ran well in all three prior runs this time in. Include wide draw and all here for sure. MAPALICIOUS (10) has been racing well this time in. She can cope on dry and wet footing and is a trifecta and first four must today. SUNSET BOULEVARD (2) produced a narrow win last start in this same class as this field. He has run well in three of his last four starts. In the mix for sure. ILLUSION OF PARIS (11) she has run well in four of her last five runs. Not out of this at all. SUGGESTED PLAY: Tivaci's Affair and Malachy are win wagers.
