Love how PAINTED PICTURE (3) goes about his business. Has built tremendous overall record and is usually thereabouts. Narrowly beaten last start but can atone here. ORARA CHARLOTTE (1) another consistent type stepping up after fine efforts over shorter. Big danger from the red. KARAOKE CLOUD (4) also racing well, can place. LUCY VAN PELT (5) next.

Comment:Ultra-consistent type stepping up in trip after some fine runs over shorter. Not showing stunning zip and facing quality here but has claims.
