Nobellity should find the front with Jaz Session and Blue Rocket on her heels. KEEP ATTACKING (1) won well to end last campaign and turned in a nice trial in readiness for his return. He flies fresh and CJP sticks from the recent trial. Likely to get back in the run, but can pick up from where he left off 126 days ago. JAZ SESSION (7) made it a hat-trick of wins with an impressive 1.7L victory here as favourite most recently. She's a mare on the rise and she still has improvement to come being lightly raced. Stable and jockey are firing on all cylinders right now and she's the main danger. NOBELLITY (10) got the job done by 2.2L here last start after leading throughout a fortnight ago. Drawn well again today and remains down in the weights. Will give them something to catch. MADAME MAGIC (8) was very impressive in her recent trial and can make a statement on resumption. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keep Attacking can score a first-up win.
