Vaguely Spanish had every chance here yesterday and would carry a penalty in this if successful. He could still figure whatever Thursday's outcome but CROWN PLEASURE is preferred. The latter was only beaten a nose over track and trip last time and can go one better. Tohaveandtohold was a long way behind the selection on his latest start and Southern Cross never threatened Vaguely Spanish earlier. Sarlat scored at the track on her penultimate start but a 3lb rise proved beyond her back here last week.
