Genuine tempo with Imperioness and Hey Jealousy up front. LITTLE PINKER (6) returned from a very long break with a strong run, finishing fifth but less than two lengths from the winner. Will strip far fitter for the blowout and is expected to go close this time. HEY JEALOUSY (3) normally shows a lot of pace but was ridden off speed in the latest and found the line strongly and just missed. Going well and looks a top chance again. FOUR LEAF WONDER (1) was a maiden winner two back then tackled open 3&4yo class latest and was safely held. Find this more suitable and well worth another try. HOLY CROWN (8) hasn't been far away the last couple. Has the ability and rates a top three chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Follow up on Little Pinker.
