RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: CIGANO (10) was resuming since April when he produced a strong performance to defeat Always Dancing on July 05. He is a classy colt, which has won five of his eight starts to date and is the horse to beat again. DANCE AFFAIR (9) continues to race consistently and should be competitive again. He sustained a strong run when a game third behind Sweet Ideal at Melton last outing. CHASING REX (3) has been freshened since his latest eighth behind Maxy Wants To Play. His overall form is strong and he should give a forward showing from his good draw. GOLDEN SHOOZ (8) is awkwardly drawn from the inside of the second line but she performed very well during her last preparation including a victory in a sizzling mile rate of 1.52.3 so she cannot be discarded. EARLY SPEED: 3 (possible leader), 5,7 RATINGS: 10/ 9/ 3,8/ 4,5,7
