Lemon Silk, Cocunut Queen and Fractured Foxy are the three to look at in a wide open affair and Lemon Silk could be the one to follow. Coconut Queen has run well on her two visits to the track and was just touched off here in a nursery last time having won a maiden here earlier in the summer. She will handle the ground but a three pound rise in the ratings will hinder her. Fractured Foxy is in terrific form having won three of her last five races and has run well here recently. She is still well treated and must go well. A winner of a similar contest at Beverley three outings ago, Lemon Silk was just touched off at Ayr last time. He is running consistently and Lemon Silk can show off his battling qualities here.
