ON THE WHIM (11) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Already a four time winner including last start when scoring by half a length over 6½f at Listed level at Santa Anita (Turf). Well placed here and looks hard to beat. SIENNOIS (3) turned in a moderate midfield finish when resuming from a lay-off a month ago over 1m in stakes class at this track (Turf). Drops back in grade. Leading contender. CIRO DI MARZIO (6) is a three-year-old import having his first run for the W A Ward barn. Hasn't raced since he finished fifth over 1m2f at Newbury three-and-a-half months ago. Hasn't trialled publicly for the new connections but he should feature in the finish. INVIGORATED (13) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1m1/2f at this track (Turf) when he did his best work late, beaten one length. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role.
