Apart from a slight doubt over the trip, everything looks right for Richard Fahey's TOTAL IMPACT, who gets the vote here ahead of Piazza San Pietro, Misaro and All About You. The selection looks very well in at these weights compared to if this were a handicap, and he acts well on the Polytrack. In addition to that he has a good draw , but although he has a 6f victory to his name, he has done all his other winning over the minimum trip. He returns from a break and can go well fresh, so we will side with him and hope that he can again see out the full trip for this. Piazza San Pietro won seller and claimers on fast ground in the summer and he goes best over this trip and 7f, so his stamina will be kicking in late on and he shouldn't be far away if handling the surface first time. Course and distance scorer Misaro is well drawn and should be very competitive from this mark, as a relatively consistent sort who pops up with a win in his turn, while All About You is not so well pitched here in stall two and is interesting now tried back over this trip, having been campaigned largely over 7f and a mile this year. If the market speaks in his favour then we should take note, but preference is for Total Impact.
