Plenty of speed runners engaged, with Tommy Shelby, Radio Star and Diogenes prominent. The talented filly CURIOUS GIRL (13) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 2000m at this track last start to make it three straight. Far too good last time out winning by a space but suspect she is tackling the boys here to avoid Hazy Lazy in the Oaks. Will take beating again. TEXAS MISSILE (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second in Listed grade at this track over 2000m behind Diogenes. Stepping up a level this time but looks suited by the extra ground and can turn the tables. DIOGENES (10) was too good for many of these last time and is shooting for a winning hat-trick. Has a high cruising speed and will go close again. RADIO STAR (1) is better than last run and should go well in this line up.
