Amex is the best sprinter of these though whether she can make the step-up to a mile is another matter. Thru' The Trees had Leanna just behind when they occupied the places over track and trip three weeks ago and the latter is better drawn this time but the vote in a tricky race goes to ORIENT EXPRESS, who ran very well here earlier in the week over slightly further.
