KEENE'S POINTE finally got his head back in front when scoring over track and trip. But this is likely to be a close run thing once again with third-placed Hawk Moth having only a half-length to make up with the winner. Russian Ice has more to find with the selection while El Mirage keeps finding one too good but was beaten only a head over course and distance last time. Queen Aggie is back on a winning mark if on a going day and Satellite Express may improve now handicapping for the first time.
