Strong tempo with Chantel using the inside alley to advantage, joined by Looks. EXTREME LOVE (8) returned from a break of three months with a solid fourth last start at Ascot over 1400m when she was always up in the leading division. Yet to miss the placings at this trip. Perfectly placed to salute. LOOKS (9) was quickly back on track, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1500m at this track after leading then up. Third-up now, and Faithful is a key jockey switch. Sits forward and will go close. FIGHT IN FLIGHT (13) turned the form around when winning here this grade and trip. Winning rider Fiore is reunited and down in the weights, should be right in it. BEST OF THE GODS (7) was ridden quietly and then made some inroads, finishing 3.5 lengths away over 1400m at Ascot. Will have to do it the hard way again, but can't be ruled out. UNI QUEEN (5) is racing well and will be around the mark. SUGGESTED PLAY: Extreme Love to win.
