Verdict

CRUISE TO RIO (1) just missed in a blanket finish last time out over 7 ½f, finishing off strongly from midfield as the race fav. Back to 6 ?f here where she was very effective prior to her latest performance. Will be back in the run but watch for her flying late in the race. REGGIO CALABRIA (2) settled just off the tempo over 5 ½f last time out and just missed out on the win, beaten 0.9L. Now gets Webster on board with the 7lbs claim, with a good draw on offer suiting him. Should get every possible chance. NICCY'S AFFAIR (10) resumes from a short 74-day break and comes back in distance. Her form last campaign stands up and she was a winner over 7 ½f. Can sit handy and make an impression. O'SO DEMANDING (7) is better than we saw last time out and can bounce back to her best with the drop in trip. FOUR SEAS (9) won't be far away.
