Expecting Beauty Boom to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. SPIRIT OF GIVING (10) doesn't win out of turn but has hit the top-four in his past seven starts and is yet to miss a drum in three starts over this course and distance. Racing very consistently this preparation and deserves to break through. ROTH 'N' BUBBLE (9) has won two of her past three outings and it's hard to knock mares in form. Can continue the purple patch. TYCOON BEAU (6) has placed three of four around this circuit and will strip fitter second-up from the spell. Top-three credentials. MEDAL (5) resumes here but the form he showed before the break was full of merit. Can run a race while fresh. JOHN JOSEPH (8) next best for the Holts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Spirit Of Giving to get a well-deserved victory.
