SENESCHAL (7) has improved with both runs this time in work and should be ready to peak now third-up from the spell. The step-up to the 1700m looks ideal and is sure to be right there when the judge calls a halt. HYDE (1) has won two from two around this circuit, draws the inside alley and gets 3kg weight relief with the claim. Ticks a few boxes. DIANA'S AFFAIR (13) is knocking on the door of another victory with two consecutive runner-up finishes and Orman stays on top. Right in this. PATMOS ISLAND (2) has a win and a second from two attempts at the course and distance and cannot be discounted. HULKAMANIA (14) doesn't know how to run a bad race and is a must for the exotics players.
