LONDON'S IMAGE (1) got home by 0. 7 lengths last time out over 6f at this track. Has four wins here. Goes up a notch this time but a bold showing is expected. BONJOY (2) is racing well, scoring in a in the LR Grandstand Cup at this track before finishing 1. 2 lengths from the winner in third last time over 1m in the LR Old Comrade (York) Stakes at this track. Clint Johnston-Porter who has 11 wins when partnering stays on. Among the leading chances. EARTHSTORM (7) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 18 starts. Was again denied last start when she found a couple better over 6f at this track. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp. BE BARDOT (8) is having her first run since November 29. Has never missed the top-three at the start of her campaigns, and she did win over 7f at Belmont Park at the start of last prep. Fitter for a fifth in a recent trial over 4¾f at Lark Hill. Sound prospects.
