Moderate tempo with France's Boy leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. STARTS NOW (5) impressed when surging late first-up on the Parks circuit and looks primed to go one better here. Strips fitter, draws well, and gets the services of Toeroek again. The rise to the mile looks ideal. Hard to beat. BURNING BRIGHT (15) is ultra-consistent this campaign and continues to race well without breaking through. Boasts a fitness edge and is in the mix. HEAD OF THE HERD (8) is another fit horse. Has improved the more he's raced this campaign and draws well for Nunes. Not without a shot. FLAMBARD (10) has place claims. SUGGESTED PLAY: Starts Now to win.
