CAPE SOVEREIGN (1) made a strong late bid but just failed to pick up the winner when fresh from a spell as favourite last start over 1000m at Chelmsford. Sure to derive great benefit from that run. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he deserves his chance. EL COBRE FUEGO (9) has been racing in great heart with two top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 1000m at Newcastle All Weather. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. JEANY MAY (5) resumed three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1000m at Catterick and was only beaten 0.8 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the bend. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MONETIZE (2) is back after a break of seven months. At the last run before the layoff she finished sixth over 1000m at this track. Solid top-three hope.
