Tom Queally's booking aboard Trecase is fascinating while it's tempting to give another chance to Big Sur with changing conditions possibly in his favour, but COLINCA'S LAD will be hard to beat. Our selection is unpenalised for a seven furlong win here recently and the extra emphasis on stamina seems sure to suit. He's a horse who relishes rain-softened ground and can beat Cool Kitten, who is back down to her last winning mark but in contrast acts best on a quick surface. Diamondgeezer Luke ran well off a mark of 62 two starts back under conditions similar to those faced here so off 60 he's of appeal but Pat Morris' charge remains a maiden and we'll return to Colinca's Lad.
