PRELUDE (6) has mixed form a little and missed the frame the last two but was a IT winner three back (24.65) at this track over 400m. This looks easier and expected to bounce back. YOUNG POPPY (4) followed an A7 win two back with a sound third, beaten 1.0 lengths, in an A7 at this track over 400m (24.84). Better suited here and cannot be underestimated. AFFANE BLUEBERRY (3) was popular in betting last start but disappointed when 6 lengths away in sixth (25.21). Finished second the start before. The form out of her last race has been franked. One of the main contenders. BLACKSTONE STORY (2) has definite claims at his first try at this journey.
