SHIMMERY STAR (9) showed good early speed last start before boxing on well and finishing third, beaten 2. 25 lengths, over this trip at Ascot. This is the right race and can find winning form. SPELLBORN (1) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound third over 6f at Pinjarra Scarpside when he did his best work late. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. ARIZONA SKY (2) made debut nine months ago at Northam when finished in the placings and hasn't raced since. Fitter for recent trials and worth including again. BOUTIQUE BELLE (10) is a three-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 2 lengths when fourth over 5f at Ascot. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come.
