Strong tempo from Reds City, Prince Of Love and Serenading. SERENADING (1) is a promising mare resuming for the Beasley camp. Clearly has her share of ability and gets the key booking of Loy. Can return with a bang. TASSALINA (4) is another lightly raced mare resuming. Was an impressive winner here on debut back in Feb but couldn't go on with it after that. Suspect she has come on during the break and can give this a good shake fresh. BARGINO (2) continues to leave himself with too much to do in the straight but possesses a sharp turn of foot on his day. If they overdo it early he can cause a late scare. TERESPRIT (8) is another that does her best work late. Winning chances would increase if they can better utilise a good draw. SHE'S THE KEY (7) stuck on gamely into the placings fresh and is a likely improver second-up. In the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Serenading to win.
