HOT AND HIGH (12) travelled on-pace last time out over 7f at this track and dug deep when pressured but found one better. Lucy Fiore who has two wins when partnering stays on. Best form puts her right in this. LIKE CLOCKWORK (15) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs including a third most recently over 7f at this track when beaten a head. Settles back early but winds up late. Will prove tough to beat. VATICAN STORM (3) built on a nice second when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at this track with success over 7f in the LR Raconteur Stakes at this track two weeks ago, getting home by a nose. Clint Johnston-Porter scored on him last time and retains the ride. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. WESTBOUND (2) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fourth over 7f here last time. One to watch for in the closing stages.
