Chester Race 3 - Queensferry Stakes (Listed)
LIFEPLAN (5) can make a winning return. Not seen since landing the 1200m G2 Gimcrack Stakes at York last season. Impressive at that level and finds a nice opportunity off a 345-day break. That was only his second start so further improvement likely. ROCK ON THUNDER (6) is down in grade after a midfield finish in the G1 Commonwealth Cup at Ascot last month. Was 1L behind the main selection at York last summer. Decent chance on that form. SONG OF THE CLYDE (1) won at this level three starts ago. Needs more after running last in the G3 Hackwood Stakes at Newbury over 1200m. FITZELLA (8) is another to watch. She was 3L fifth contesting the G1 Commonwealth Cup two starts back.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. Not raced for 44 days. First-up ran second last of 7 at Haydock Park in the G2 Sandy Lane Stakes on May 23 over 1200m, 12 len behind Venetian Sun carrying 58kg at $13. Second-up 15th of 22 at Ascot in the G1 Commonwealth Cup on June 19 over 1200m, 9 len behind Venetian Sun carrying 58kg at $126. Racing well. Key runner who is a great chance to atone.
