PLAYING QUEST (5) resumed two weeks ago over 6f at Ascot and was only beaten 0.6 lengths into fifth. Fitter and sure to run well. VALDARENA (6) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 0.8 lengths over 7f at Ascot. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three starts. Can measure up again. PROTEGE (3) was prominent at the bend and finished second last time over 7f at Ascot, beaten 0.9 lengths. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. FEARLESS TALK (11) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 6f at Pinjarra, finishing third and beaten 1.4 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a bold display.
