CITY SELECTIONS May Sonic should be suited by the return to the Polytrack after a recent outing at York and has to be considered. However, a chance is taken on CHOCOYA, who was a comfortable winner at Salisbury, despite having to encounter traffic problems. The daughter of Sepoy has been keeping better company this season and gets the vote to overcome a 3lb rise for her latest success. Inveigle is an interesting contender and he could be a different proposition now tackling sprint distances.
