Verdict

KIA ORA TATOU (9) only battled fresh up at Ascot 11 days ago but he is very well placed in this with 9lbs less to carry against what is probably a softer option. A good draw should make him hard to beat at possibly some decent each-way value. THIS'LL SHOW YA (6) gave a good kick after leading up a strong field at Ascot just over 2 weeks ago and those front-running tactics are normally an advantage on this circuit. She will be hard to peg back again. BLUE LINE (1) was keyed up before the start at Albany last start and finished fourth. He has a good record on this track and should be right in the finish this time. FRANTIC WAR (3) is usually thereabouts and was less than a length from the winner when running third at Albany 8 days ago. Kyra Yuill sticks with him and so do we. Each way. PRAY AGAIN (2) has changed stables since last racing at Belmont. He will find the company in the country more to his liking and can give this a shake fresh up. A market watch is advised.
