Frascati, Kiss The Rain and Sea The World could be the three to focus on here, with the last-named getting the vote. The selection actually finished two-and-a-half lengths behind Frascati over today's course and distance 13 days ago but, now four pounds better off, might just be able to turn the tables. Only One Legend, also now four pounds better off, was six lengths behind Frascati that day. Kiss The Rain could be interesting. She won on Turf at Bath in October from a mark of 60, and runs off 50 here. She ran one reasonable race here as a juvenile and this is her first try at this trip since her racecourse debut. Turning to the others, Polish Emperor is possibly better at six furlongs, while Blueberry Rhyme, Abraxas and Somethingabouther have yet to score in 52 attempts between them. Brioso has won over course and distance but is racing from a six-pound higher mark now. However, he might run into a place. Cark ran well here from a of 54 just over a year ago and, now rated 47, can be given a chance. It would be hard to make a compelling case for the others and, once again, on this occasion, we'll opt for Sea The World.
