Streetcar Apollo should lead at a keen tempo. DELIGHTFUL SHECKY (8) likes to warm into his races, as he showed when strong through the line fresh at headquarters. With a much kinder draw this time he can cause some grief if he is close enough on the turn. STREETCAR APOLLO (1) disappointed as favourite here three weeks ago when below his best, but his prior form measures up strongly and if he recaptures that level he'll take some beating. ACAPPELLA MOON (11) had been knocking on the door and then put it all together here last start when rattling home to arrive right on time. The form around her holds up well, though she will need a smart steer from the wide alley. Expect her to be charging late. VEXATIOUS DANCER (4) was plain last start but her earlier form reads well. She drops back to her pet trip, where she has won four times. Is another that will drift back before launching hard at the business end. MYSTIC WONDER (12) failed to go on with it after racing wide and dropped out quickly, but she has since won a jump-out. Keep safe. SUGGESTED PLAY: Delightful Shecky each-way.
