IGUACU is fancied to see off a strong challenge from Inquisitress and Mountain Forest. George Baker's gelding ran well at Southwell last time out when filling third spot behind Swords. That looks solid form in the context of this race and he also looks capable of winning off this current mark of 50. Supplementary may improve now going handicapping and he ran his best race here last time out, Sestet is still a maiden but she has shaped well in defeat, whilst Inquisitress returns to this trip after getting outpaced at Kempton over a mile last time. Any market support for Choosy Floosy would have to be taken seriously with Robert Winston taking the ride for the first time, Mister Frosty is dropping down the weights but for good reason, whilst Vigorosa needs to improve. Mountain Forest steps up in trip again and has a little to prove, however he has run well here before and sits at the right end of the weights. Not a race to dwell on, but preference is for Iguacu.
