Strong tempo with Third Decree, Ears Back and Loftys Gift leading the charge. EPEE BEEL (5) was a big winner in G3 at her last start. Dual course winner. Win chance here at 53kg. LOFTYS GIFT (6) is in stupendous form this campaign and can handle dry and wet footing. Looks very well in at 53kg. Top tier chance in this field. THIRD DECREE (4) is a multiple class dropper. Course winner. Has been G3 and Listed placed so looks well weighted here. Include the mare everywhere in this line-up. DAZZLING MISS (7) has a wide draw in this. Multiple class dropper here and is a trifecta and first four must for bettors. PERFECT SCENARIO (1) is a four-time winner here. Proven on dry and wet ground. Impossible to omit him in this field anywhere. SUGGESTED PLAY: Epee Beel and Loftys Gift are win wagers.
