This is a strong race with many holding realistic claims. Pulsating arrives on the crest of a wave and has cruised to victory on her last two starts when appearing to have plenty to do. She is up in class tonight but has won in this grade previously. However, a furious pace is likely and she can ill afford to start as slowly as she has done lately. Mr Pocket has been costly to follow but there are grounds for optimism back up in trip and with more leniency shown by the handicapper. THE AMBER FORT is nicely drawn to get a good tow into the race from Tavener and his ability to stay an extra furlong could prove an asset in what promises to be a strongly run race. He looks reasonably treated and he seems to like it around here. Tavener is drawn to set out and attempt to make all. It seems only a matter of time before he exploits his current mark and it would be no surprise if this proved to be his day.
