A strong gallop is likely with Shimshalar and The Wayfarer taking up the running, closely attended by Body Of Venus and Final Atom. Tough race and looking for the fresh legs. SYMPHONITE (11) is a lightly raced galloper who kept improving last time in and did place when last resuming. This looks an ideal start to the campaign. Yet to prove she's not just a wet tracker but expected to go close this line-up. BAMA SLAMA (5) was good fresh then ran a poor race last time in what itself has turned out to be a poor form race. Forget the run and rates highly on previous form. Drawn for every chance in the box seat and willing to give another go. XTRAMAGIC (8) has been in the minors the last couple and looks overdue. Goes very well here at home and should be in the finish. VILLE DE LUMIERE (12) is a progressive type resuming and is coming off a jump-out win. May want a fraction further but drawn to stalk and finish on hard fresh. OVER THE EDGE (4) was well held fresh but fitter again and can improve sharply. SHAME ON SUE (14) is on the quick back-up and rates highly if she lines up again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Going with the fresh Symphonite.
