SUMMER LILY (8) was prominent from the outset when fourth over 6f in the G2 Sceptre Stakes at this track last time out. Form here at this trip is sound. Change of jockey to Grant Van Niekerk who has a strong record when aboard with a win and three placings from four rides. Well placed and should be in the finish. CANDY TOWN (12) broke through for a win last start when second up from a lay-off, scoring by one length over 5f at this track. Won at her only start over this longer journey so she is among the winning hopes. NORDIC QUEST (1) finished fifth last start, beaten 3 lengths, over 5f at this track. Has never been out of the money in six starts at this trip, including three wins. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Should be involved in the finish. SIDDELEY (11) finished fifth last time out over 6f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Key contender.
