SUPER FOCUS attempts a hat-trick and could have her form boosted by Honor Oak in the previous race as she was behind her here last month. Tom Cleary's filly has since won very easily over an extra two furlongs and a 5lb penalty doesn't look enough to prevent another success. Paved With Gold produced a shock result on his debut on the track last month and was good value for his narrow victory. A similar performance would see him in the shake-up while Cosmic Symbol and Carrigeen Prince were only just behind and can get involved again though the former finished behind the selection last time. Six Silver Lane didn't run well last time but that was a rare blip in an otherwise consistent career around here and the grey has to be on the shortlist.
