CRUISE TO RIO (2) drifted back from her wide draw last start then hit the line hard to score by half a length at this track over 6f32yards. Form here at the trip is sound with two wins and three minor placings from five runs. A bold showing is likely. NICCY'S AFFAIR (9) showed good early pace over 5f at this track last time and kept going to score by a neck. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is sure to prove hard to beat. SACRED OATH (7) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when sixth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1m at Ascot. Lucy Fiore gets the best out of this seven-year-old gelding. Has the class to produce a better result. BRAVE APACHE (10) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 6f32yards at this track, beaten 1. 2 lengths. This looks a good race for him and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
