Verdict

KYLOAN QUEEN (2) led from this barrier and kept going when she scored by 5.4 metres at this circuit and distance last week. This is a little stronger but she can push forward again so is a big chance of consecutive wins. HELL IM SMOOTH (3) missed narrowly fresh then had a tough draw last time. Better served by this barrier and has a win and a placing from two third-up attempts so will be peaking. Big threat. LANAI (9) came from a similar barrier to this when runner-up here three back and has had little go his way since. The ace draw can see a better showing from ART JESTER (1).
