CITY SELECTIONS SAATTY has taken a step forward since joining this yard, winning two of his three starts for new connections, and the progressive three-year-old is hard to oppose this afternoon. Lead Story has made the frame in her last couple of starts and it would be no surprise to see her in the mix once again. Others to consider are No Day Never and Moonlit Cloud.

PLAY SMARTER SAATTY has made a positive start for new connections, winning 2 of his 3 starts, showing a good attitude when coming out on top in a photo finish at Kempton 9 days ago, and remains of interest up only 2lb. Lead Story should be on the premises again and rates the main threat.
