Marachi Band stands out and can score at the main expense of Cool Isle and Samsouma. The selection has improved of late, as her third from a rating of 60 last time testifies. Stepped up to a distance that is more in keeping with her breeding, she can earn some winning brackets. Noble Edge has been running well of late, but in claiming and selling company, while all-weather debutante At The Money could be very interesting indeed. Samsouma, with Frankie Dettori booked to ride, was not far behind the selection last time and is another that could well improve for today's trip, while Cool Isle is your benchmark to the form and might be able to sneak a place. Keep an eye on the betting with regard to the others, not least Veneto but, overall, the vote goes to Marachi Band.
