MELISANDRE (4) lines up on the back of a 18 length ninth over 7½f at this track. Has a good record at this journey with three wins from eight starts. Leading contender. MECHANIC SUSIE (7) has scored at her last three starts, most recently by 1.5 lengths over 6f at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins from three starts. Top chance again. RUSSIAN PEARL (1) was below her best last time when sixth over 6f at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Finds a nice race and can atone. DAZZLING GOLD (3) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start over 6f at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Should be cherry-ripe. Worth plenty of thought.
