Solid tempo with several going forward headed by France's Boy. ANNIHILATE (2) capitalised on his strong start to the prep with a tough win here two weeks ago. The rise in trip holds no fears and the switch to Toeroek is a positive. Well placed to go back-to-back. HEADPHONES (5) doesn’t win out of turn but is better than her last two suggest and a solid tempo will let her burst through late. SPARKUP (4) gave a bold sight here fresh before tiring late. He’ll have tightened up from that and will be much harder to reel in this time. FLASHING STEEL (1) has been around the mark without threatening but comes through strong races and draws to give a proper account of himself. FOLLOWING SEA (6) was sound fresh and should have come on nicely. He’s not without a chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: Annihilate to win again.
