Elusive Runner and Plateau should enable a genuinely run staying affair. Early intent should come from likely favourite Elusive Runner who has early tactical speed whilst Sahara Strike is a proven on pace type. ELUSIVE RUNNER has placed in both runs this campaign and stuck on well in latest outing over a slightly shorter trip. Drawn to make his own luck early and this isn't an overly strong line up. Very hard to beat. PLATEAU is third up and getting out to a trip he has proven more than capable at in the past. Improved sharply over the mile last start and with added fitness is definitely a key player in this event. CALIFORNIA is racing consistently of late having placed in two of her last three contests. Will stay this trip right out on previous efforts and down in the weights looks the value chance. Of the others Sahara Strike is the most likely to figure having placed in his last two outings and lacking nothing in fitness. he had conditions to suit himself. Did handle the journey rather well and shapes as the main danger off that effort. PLATEAU next in line. SUGGESTED PLAY: Elusive Runner straight out.
