BIANCU BEACH (4) finished 7 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at Palermo three-and-a-half weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Sure to be in the finish. RUBIA DE MARFIL (5) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at Palermo. Should be prominent from the outset. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. JAXX (6) is yet to break through in 26 runs but has been thereabouts. Placed two back then was 3.5 lengths away in fifth over 1200m at this track last time. Shapes well and is among the main hopes. SLEW OF HOPE (2) has switched yards since finishing third five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1600m at Palermo. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
