Studley generally gives his running and is capable of making his presence felt, but, returned to 6f, FORTUNATE RUN is taken to reverse last time out placings and notch his third victory over this trip. Barco split the aforementioned pair latest but, more exposed than the selection, may have to settle for a supporting role tonight.
VICTORIA VICTORIA found the trip on the sharp side here last time but will relish the return to 6f and is taken to open her account at the fifth attempt. Needs To Run, third behind the selection latest, looks the best option for the exacta although Blonde Blitzen is another to consider.
Crazy As Can Be was much improved when opening his account around here last month and he could be worth keeping onside now the penny has dropped. Last time out course scorer Foxy Mulder and Illicit Lover also command respect.
CANTSTOPLOVINGSUE had the reopposing Say Sassy Lassie behind when the pair last met over the track and trip and a similar performance should be good enough in this maiden. Breathless Blues is another to consider closely.
COPIOUS NOTES bids to land the hat-trick in this claimer and with solid form at this level already recorded, it would be no surprise to see another prominent ride do the business. Espresso Martini and Pennyannie Cowgirl make most appeal elsewhere in the field.
GREENWOOD BOY boasts solid form at this level and with market rival, Diamond Showcase, behind when the pair last met, the six-year-old looks the safest option in this allowance contest. Mike's Instinct can also get serious when push comes to shove.
BEBOBLUES ART won with plenty in hand over track and trip last time and she could prove a tough nut to crack if in the same mood tonight. Unruly Storm rates the biggest threat with dropping in both trip and grade in her favour, while She's Got Thefever is no forlorn hope.
COUPON has come good over this track and trip on his last couple of starts and will be well fancied to complete the hat-trick tonight. Born To Dazzle rates the biggest threat after his gritty course success recently, while Vlast certainly isn't out of it either.
It could pay to side with GREAT RECESSION in this tricky looking heat. He emerged with much credit when fifth over 5 1/2f at Suffolk last time and stepping back up in trip tonight can only help his cause. The Grievance Man and Wheeler Dealer are others worthy of consideration.
