Plenty of speed with Mississippi Morn, Universal Harmony and Flying Animo leading Rush Hour and Silver Hammer. RED BEAUTY (11) has returned in red-hot form this campaign and was unlucky not to bring up the hat-trick here last time when beaten a head. Is drawn to get all the favours and reunites with winning hoop. Sure to be right there again. SILVER HAMMER (4) has struck winning form and the form around him stacks up strongly. Has a tough draw to overcome but is going too good to ignore. UNIVERSAL HARMONY (7) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when in contention on the bend before winding up in third here. Peaking now and has the pace to offset the wide draw. Could take some catching if left alone in front. BETTERLUCKNEXTTIME (12) returns and is a first-up winner. Peaks measure right up for this and he can make his presence felt. SUGGESTED PLAY: Red Beauty to win.
