EXULTATION (8) stuck on well to finish second last start over 6f at this track (Turf), beaten 0.1 lengths when fresh from a lay-off as favourite. In a suitable race and can play a major role. Group 3 placegetter GIVE ME THE LUTE (7) made it four wins in a row last time out when he scored by 0.8 lengths over 5f at this track (Turf). Winning rider J J Hernandez retains the mount. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BARRISTAN THE BOLD (5) knuckled down strongly to get within 0.8 lengths of the winner in third last start over 5f at this track when fresh from a break. Among the main chances. KANDEREL (6) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start over 5f at this track (Turf), beaten 0.8 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Capable of another strong performance.
