TREVIE FOUNTAIN found his form in late-2020 after a disappointing summer and he has hinted at a similar revival this year in recent starts. He's now 5 lb below his last winning mark and looks poised to strike. Zartaj ran with credit here last time and she should play a part. Aradena is another to bear in mind.
