Youngster CAPTAIN WEST returned a beaten odds-on favourite over 1200m last time out but that was in a 'warm' 2yo race in which he finished just 1.10 lengths off the highly regarded winner/newcomer, who has performed well subsequently. He needn't improve much to open his account. LUCY ROCKET and MANEKI NEKO have the form and experience to pose a threat. They're closely matched on recent form although the former should confirm her superiority on these weight terms. PALACE GIFT, after an improved last start, and LET IT BE SAID, who had excuses on debut, could also make their presence felt.
