AMARLIME (2) made a strong late bid but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 6f at Ascot. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PATRON EXPRESS (1) returned from a lay-off last start with a strong win by a nose over 6f at Pinjarra Scarpside. RALLY THE TROOPS (4) showed good early speed and led around the bend last start before being cut down, finishing sixth and beaten 1.75 lengths over this journey at Ascot. Among the main hopes. COSTA STAR (5) turned in a eye-catching run last start over 6½f at Pinjarra Scarpside, winding up hard from well back on straightening to finish a close second. Tough to stop again.
