Solid tempo with Rubble 'N' Fudd possessing enough dash to find the front. SKIN IN THE GAME (3) ticks a lot of boxes. Was too good fresh and strips fitter, won only try second-up, has never missed the frame here in five wins and rider has never missed the frame in six rides including four wins. Clear top pick. COOL HEART (6) ran on hard last time and just missed beaten a neck. Continues to race well and looks the danger. GLOBAL AWARENESS (11) might want further in time but is a talented mare with good form in tougher contests. Does run well fresh and should be winding up strongly this level. ESPRIT DIVA (7) is ticking along okay without winning but has a decent record this extra trip, drops in weight and senior rider goes aboard. Could be value. GEEGEEHAILSTORM (10) is a strong contender on her best form and should be winding up late. SUGGESTED PLAY: Skin In the Game is the benchmark.
