A Touch From Fayt, Zouthur and Luvarchie all possess good speed.
MAKE IT SO (5) has been well placed to win her last couple of starts and seems to appreciate having her runs well-spaced. He last start was nearly 6 weeks ago, and she gets to carry 2kg less this time. She has a good draw, and the hat-trick beckons. A TOUCH FROM FAYT (6) is also chasing down a hat-trick of wins after making it 2 wins on the bounce here nearly 2 weeks ago. She cops a wide gate, but if the track is wet, it could be an advantage to be drawn wide. Stick with her. PORT ERIN (2) has only been lightly tried for a 5-year-old gelding, but he has plenty of ability. He comes to hand quickly and looked in good nick when finishing second in a recent trial. If he doesn't need the hit-out, then he would not be a shock winner. MISSILE ONE (9) raced close to the pace here nearly 4 weeks ago and was only a short-head away from winning on a heavy track. She slides down in class and is also returning to 1000m. Stick with her on an each-way basis, especially if the track is soft. SUGGESTED PLAY: Make It So to win.
